COVID-19 Vaccine Information

APPOINTMENT UPDATE, 1/19/21:
Due to a smaller allotment of vaccines received, all appointments at the Department of Health vaccination sites are fully booked for the remainder of the week and we do not anticipate any further appointments will be added until next week. Please check back next week for available appointments.

VACCINE SUPPLY UPDATE:
The Federal Government determines how much vaccine New York State receives, affecting the County’s supply. Nassau County has used 100% of the doses allocated to us and will continue to use every dose as additional supply comes in.

In addition to vaccination centers run by the County’s Department of Health, listed below, vaccines are available at New York State sites which can be accessed through the “Am I Eligible" app.

An appointment is required to be vaccinated at any Department of Health or NYS vaccination center.

SECOND COVID-19 DOSE INFORMATION:

Please be informed that everyone who received their first dose of COVID-19 Vaccination at Nassau Community College (Garden City), Yes We Can Community Center (Westbury) or Union Baptist Church (Hempstead) will receive an email which contains a special LINK to schedule their second dose appointment. Your COVID-19 second dose appointment will take place at the same location where you received your first dose, 28 days after your first dose.

Please continue to check your email for this very important LINK from the Nassau County Department of Health to schedule your second dose appointment. Please be sure to check your spam filters if you do not see the LINK.

This scheduling system is ONLY for individuals that received their first dose of vaccine from the Nassau County Department of Health. If you received your first dose of vaccine from another provider, please contact that provider for scheduling your second dose appointment. If you do not receive the emailed LINK, the information you initially provided may not match our records. If you already received your first dose of vaccine from the Nassau County Department of Health and believe your information should be in our system, please email us at ncdoh2nddoseinquiry@nassaucountyny.gov and include your first and last name, telephone number, email address, date and location of your first dose.
