NYU Langone patients age 6 months and older can schedule their primary series of COVID-19 vaccination appointments through their 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. If you are a parent scheduling a vaccination appointment for your child, you must have shared access to your child’s health record in MyChart in order to schedule. See our instructions for requesting shared access, also called proxy access, to MyChart.

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

NYU Langone patients can make an appointment to receive the Pfizer–BioNTech or Moderna vaccines. These vaccines, which are highly effective at preventing severe disease, require two doses as part of your primary vaccination series. You can schedule the second dose through MyChart between three and four weeks after your first dose, depending on the vaccine you received.

Children 6 months to 17 years of age can receive either the Pfizer–BioNTech or Moderna vaccines for their primary vaccination series. Children ages 6 months to 4 years receive the Moderna vaccine as a two-dose primary series, while the Pfizer–BioNTech vaccine is given as a three-dose primary series to this age group.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that everyone receive an updated Pfizer–BioNTech or Moderna booster when eligible. These boosters, known as bivalent vaccines, protect against both the Omicron variant and the original virus strain.

People age 6 months and older may be eligible for a bivalent booster if it has been at least two months since they received their primary vaccination series. The earlier Pfizer–BioNTech and Moderna boosters, known as monovalent vaccines, are no longer available for people in these age groups.

If you are eligible for a booster vaccination, you can schedule your appointment online through your NYU Langone Health MyChart account. Availability is based on our supply of the vaccines, which may be limited.

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

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.

At this time, there is NO out-of-pocket cost to patients for COVID-19 vaccines.

If you have a history of severe allergic reactions or anaphylaxis, it is essential to discuss this with your provider or pharmacist whenever you receive any vaccine.  Additional monitoring will be required after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine.

COVID-19 vaccines can be administered with other vaccines.

Yes. Because there are currently insufficient data to verify how long antibodies are present after being infected with COVID-19, the current CDC recommendation is to get the vaccine.

How to prepare for your appointment!

Please use the link in your confirmation email to change or reschedule an existing appointment. If you need to change the LOCATION of your existing vaccination appointment, you MUST CANCEL your current appointment and make a new one at the desired location.
