COVID-19 Vaccine

NYU Langone is offering the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) vaccine to our patients age 12 and older. To learn more about the COVID-19 vaccine and vaccine safety, read our COVID-19 vaccine information for patients.

COVID-19 Vaccination Appointments at NYU Langone

NYU Langone patients age 12 and older can schedule a COVID-19 vaccination appointment through your NYU Langone Health MyChart account. You can also download the NYU Langone Health app, and log in with your MyChart username and password to quickly and easily schedule your vaccination appointment.

If you are an NYU Langone patient and do not have a MyChart account, create your account now so you can schedule your appointment.

Please do not call your doctor’s office about scheduling your vaccination appointment, as our vaccination appointments are made at specialized vaccination sites in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens and on Long Island. You will be able to choose the location and time that is most convenient for you.

To ensure that the vaccine is available for your appointment, we are scheduling vaccinations only after we have confirmed that we have doses available for distribution.

Important Vaccine Information and Considerations

NYU Langone offers the three vaccines that have received Emergency Use Authorization from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration—Pfizer–BioNTech, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson/Janssen—based on our available supply. All three brands of vaccines have been proven to be highly effective at preventing severe disease/

All patients will be informed of which vaccine they receive at the time of their appointment. Patients ages 12 to 17 receive the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, which to date is the only vaccine approved for this age group.

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

• You had a severe allergic reaction to a vaccine in the past.
• You are pregnant, thinking of becoming pregnant, or breastfeeding.
• You have a condition that affects your immune system.
• You are getting radiation therapy or chemotherapy.
• You are taking medications that affect your immune system or have taken corticosteroids for more than 14 days.

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

• You received your first dose of the vaccine somewhere else. Please schedule your second dose at the same location you received your first dose.
• You are currently feeling sick.
• You have an active COVID-19 infection. You can schedule 10 days after you have received a positive COVID-19 test result or 72 hours after your fever ends.
• You received a COVID-19 diagnosis and were treated with COVID-19 monoclonal antibody infusions or convalescent plasma within the past 90 days.

Depending on the vaccine you receive, you may need one or two doses. If you require two doses, you can schedule the second vaccination through MyChart after your first vaccination. You will be offered appointments between three and four weeks after your first dose, depending on the vaccine you received.
