Mayor Promotes At-Home Vaccination Initiative for Every New Yorker

By Yehudit Garmaise

Mayor Bill de Blasio reminded New Yorkers who have not gotten their shots about a convenient location for getting vaccinated that could not get any easier: in the comfort of your own home.

So far, 30,000 New Yorkers have gotten vaccinated through the city’s at-home initiative, said the mayor, who added: “that's 46,000 doses that have been given.”

“At-home vaccination is a great way to stay safe,” the mayor pointed out. “Please, everyone, if you haven't done it yet, this is a great way to protect your family.”

Although city first provided at-home vaccination for New Yorkers who are homebound, eventually, the mayor and his team decided to make the super-easy option available for everyone.

“Vaccinators can provide you with first doses, second doses, and boosters for as many family members as are needed,” Mayor de Blasio said yesterday.

Not only will healthcare professionals come to New Yorkers’ homes, but everyone who gets their first dose of the vaccine still receives the city’s $100 incentive: regardless of age. 

“We get hundreds of people every day coming forward who want at-home vaccination,” said the mayor, who added that the city “could handle a lot more.”

Readers can sign up for vaccinations at home by calling (877) VAX-4NYC, or by going online at nyc.gov/homevaccine nyc.gov/homevaccine.

“Once you sign up, a provider will call you, make an appointment, and send a vaccinator to your home,” Mayor de Blasio explained. 

“All you have to do is ask for it.”
