COVID-19 Vaccine

NYU Langone offers the COVID-19 vaccine to our patients age 6 months and older. To learn more about the COVID-19 vaccine and vaccine safety, read our COVID-19 vaccine information for patients.

Important Vaccine Information and Considerations

We ask that you first contact your doctor before making a vaccination appointment if any of these categories apply to you:

• You had a severe allergic reaction to a vaccine in the past.
• You have a condition that affects your immune system.
• You are getting radiation therapy or chemotherapy.

If you recently had COVID-19, we recommend waiting to receive your next vaccine dose—primary or booster—by about 3 months from when your symptoms started, or if you had no symptoms, when you first received a positive test. This allows your immune system time to recover and fully respond to the vaccine.

Please do not schedule a vaccination or come to NYU Langone to be vaccinated if any of the following statements apply to you:

• You are currently feeling sick.
• You have an active COVID-19 infection.

The CDC provides detailed information about the COVID-19 vaccine. NYU Langone also provides vaccine information for patients.

If you have specific questions about the vaccine related to your health, please contact your NYU Langone doctor.
