New York State COVID-19 Vaccine Information, Eligibility and Form!

Dear WFA Families, As-salamu Alaikum/Greetings!

As you may be aware, New York State is now distributing the COVID-19 vaccine in phases based on need and risk. New Yorkers who are more likely to be exposed to the virus, and who are more likely to become seriously ill if they get COVID-19, will be offered the vaccine first.  Both the federal government and New York State have developed plans to ensure that everyone will be able to get a COVID-19 vaccine as soon as large quantities are available, at no cost no matter where they live.

New York State COVID-19 Vaccine Eligibility and Form is:  HERE 

Please read COVID Vaccine Information below:

  • The governor has indicated that, due to vaccine availability, it could take up to 14 weeks for eligible New Yorkers to schedule their shots
