193 Sites Established to Date; Program Will Run Over a 6-Week Period; Full List of Sites Updated Weekly Here
Parents and Guardians can Learn More Here; Includes Resources for Organizations Hosting #VaxForKids Events
Governor Kathy Hochul today announced 63 new #VaxForKids pop-up vaccination sites to increase vaccination rates among children and adolescents. The new sites support the state's goal of ensuring New York children 5 years and older get vaccinated and keep up with all recommended COVID-19 vaccine doses, including the booster. The State Department of Health is working with localities, community-based organizations, and healthcare centers to establish these sites in all regions of the state. Partners, host sites, and outreach efforts will be tailored to best meet the needs of the communities they serve.
"Over 1.6 million children have received the COVID-19 vaccine - and they are better protected because of it," Governor Hochul said. "But our work to ensure all eligible kids get vaccinated continues, with 193 #VaxForKids pop-up sites established to date. This week, 63 new pop-ups are coming online to bring the vaccine directly to communities across New York State. I urge every parent and guardian to make sure their child is vaccinated and up-to-date with all recommended vaccine doses."
The State launched the #VaxForKidscampaign to increase vaccination rates among New York children 5 - 11 and provide booster doses for eligible adolescents 12 - 17, furthering the Governor's commitment to making the health and well-being of children, families and school communities a top priority. To date, over 1.6 million children 5 - 17 have been vaccinated against COVID-19. As of Feb. 7, 37.4% of children 5 - 11 and 75.7% of adolescents 12 - 17 have received at least one dose and 29.6% of children 5 - 11 and 67.9% of adolescents 12 - 17 have completed their initial vaccine series.
State Health Commissioner Dr. Mary T. Bassett said, "In partnership with trusted organizations on-the-ground, our #VaxForKids program is rolling out 63 new sites this week. Parents and guardians, please visit one of our new sites to get your child vaccinated or boosted. These sites are conveniently located at schools, community centers, and destinations like farmer's markets to make getting vaccinated safe, convenient, and accessible. Getting vaccinated means you and your family can breathe a sigh of relief knowing you have the best protection against COVID-19 possible."
A community-based medical professional will be available at each site to answer any questions parents and guardians may have. Operational days for each of the #VaxForKids pop-up sites are below. New sites will be announced weekly over the 6-week period. In only the third week of the program, 193 sites have been established. The full list of #VaxForKids sites is available here.

Children five and older are eligible for the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine. As of Jan. 7, 2022, adolescents 12 and older are eligible for a booster dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine at least five months after completing their initial vaccine series. Additionally, children 5 - 11 with certain immunocompromising conditions are now eligible for an additional dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine at least 28 days after completing their initial vaccine series. Pediatric providers, parents, and guardians are encouraged to visit ny.gov/VaxForKids, ny.gov/Boosters, ny.gov/GetTheVaxFacts, or watch the Health Commissioner's new PSA here.
The COVID-19 vaccine is free and widely available statewide, including at over 2,000 locations administering the vaccine for children. All state mass vaccination sites are administering the vaccine for children five years and older, boosters for New Yorkers 12 years and older, and additional doses for immunocompromised children five years and older. In addition to the state's pop-up and mass vaccination sites, New Yorkers can visit vaccines.gov, text their ZIP code to 438829, or call 1-800-232-0233 to find nearby locations. Parents and guardians can also contact their child's pediatrician, family physician, county health departments, Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs), rural health centers, or pharmacies that may be administering the vaccine to this age group. Make sure that the provider offers the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine.
Parents and guardians are encouraged to make sure their child is up to date on all recommended and required vaccinations, including the flu vaccine. Please visit the Department of Health website for more information on recommended childhood and adolescent immunizations.
