COVID-19

Get Vaccinated

The spread of the delta variant of the virus that causes COVID-19 means it is becoming more dangerous to be unvaccinated. Fortunately, it has never been easier to get vaccinated against COVID-19 in NYC.

People 12 and older can now go to vaccination sites citywide without an appointment. There are services available for people who need help getting to a site or other reasonable accommodations.

A fully vaccinated person is much less likely to get sick or spread the virus that causes COVID-19. Any activity is safer when you are vaccinated, and in most settings you will not need to wear a mask or stay 6 feet away from others.

The more New Yorkers are vaccinated, the better our chances to stop the spread of COVID-19 in New York City and throughout the U.S. However, the increasing spread of variant viruses and the slowing pace of vaccinations is causing cases to rise again throughout the city. Do your part by getting vaccinated today and telling everyone you know who is 12 or older to do the same.

If you are not vaccinated, learn what other steps you should take to protect yourself and those around you.
