“Since the arrival of the vaccine in NYC, our vaccination hubs have become a key component of the City’s vaccine infrastructure – accessible, trusted, effective and located in communities and sites that are familiar to neighborhood residents,” said Deputy to Mayor for Health and Human Services Melanie Hartzog. “To date, thanks to New Yorkers’ incredible volunteer spirit, we’re proud to have vaccinated thousands of individuals at these vital sites. Now our Vaccine for All Corps will build on this important progress, bringing more staff and vaccinators online, including hiring directly from communities, ensuring these key sites and resources continue to be available to New Yorkers for the long-haul as we anticipate increased supply citywide.”

 

“Our COVID response is by, for and with the community,” said Health Commissioner Dr. Dave A. Chokshi. “New Yorkers are the true champions of the response and we’ll continue to rely on them to fuel the vaccination of hundreds of thousands of their fellow residents at our hubs.”
