Get Tested, Vaccinated, and Boosted

Breakthrough cases make up only about 5% of the COVID-19 cases in New York. But to best guard our community, we want to ensure that all individuals, regardless of vaccination status, are getting tested regularly. We also continue to encourage those who are not vaccinated yet

to get vaccinated and boosted!

For appointments at a testing site or instructions for at-home tests, visit NYC.gov or coronavirus.health.ny.gov/covid-19-testing.

For vaccine or booster shot appointments, visit the NYC COVID-19 and Flu Vaccine Finder / call 877-VAX4NYC (877-829-4692) or visit am-i-eligible.covid19vaccine.health.ny.gov.

As a reminder, the Pfizer vaccine is now approved and available for children 5-11 years old in NYC. For the $100 individual incentive available to children who get vaccinated, visit NYC.gov.

Remember to continue practicing social distancing, so that we slow down transmission rates and flatten the curve of the outbreak, that way our health systems aren't inundated with patients. The rule of thumb is this: If you can stay home, you should stay home. We are working in Congress to pass legislation to address these interruptions and make sure families do not feel the burden of this pandemic.

Stay safe, and look out for each other. We are in this together and we will overcome this together.
