After You Confirm Your Appointment: Complete a Vaccine Form

Once you have a confirmed appointment, you must complete the New York State COVID-19 Vaccine Form (https://forms.ny.gov/s3/vaccine). This form can be completed online and you will receive a submission ID, or can be completed at your vaccination site. (We encourage New Yorkers to complete the form ahead of time.)

What to Bring to Your Appointment

When you go to your vaccination site for your appointment, you must bring proof of eligibility. This may include an employee ID card, a letter from an employer or affiliated organization, or a pay stub, depending on the specific priority status. If you are eligible due to age, you should bring a form of ID (like a Driver’s License or passport) that includes your date of birth.

Don’t Forget to Schedule Your 2nd Dose

You must schedule an appointment to get your second shot at your vaccination site, in-person, immediately after getting your first shot. Remember: Both vaccines require two doses for effectiveness.

What is V-Safe?

V-safe is a smartphone-based tool that uses text messaging and
web surveys to provide personalized health check-ins after you
receive a COVID-19 vaccination. Through v-safe, you can quickly
tell CDC if you have any side effects after getting the COVID-19
vaccine. Depending on your answers, someone from CDC may call
to check on you. And v-safe will remind you to get your second
COVID-19 vaccine dose if you need one.
Your participation in CDC’s v-safe makes a difference — it helps
keep COVID-19 vaccines safe.
