16-Year-Olds Now
Can Get C-19 Shots
ALBANY – At 8 a.m. tomorrow, April 6, all New Yorkers age 16 and up will be eligible for the COVID-19 vaccines, Governor Cuomo announced today in his daily update.
Since the vaccine isn’t recommended for children, this means all New Yorkers who are prospective candidates for anti-COVID shots will now be eligible to receive them.
You can schedule an appointment through the Am I Eligible tool or by calling the NYS COVID-19 Vaccine Hotline at 1-833-NYS-4-VAX (1-833-697-4829).
