NewYork-Presbyterian today announced new guidelines for the vaccination process at its Armory Vaccination Center in Washington Heights. Effective immediately, 100% of new appointments at the Center will be for New York City residents, and a minimum of 60% of all those appointment slots will be reserved for eligible residents of the Washington Heights, Inwood, Northern and Central Harlem, and South Bronx communities.  (All existing appointments, including those for second vaccination doses, will be fully honored).

The Armory site was selected specifically to allow easier access to the vaccine to these communities, and a dedicated outreach team that includes bilingual staff has been created to expand community outreach efforts in Northern Manhattan.

An ongoing engagement initiative is focused on reaching eligible Northern Manhattan residents and getting them registered for appointments. This process is being undertaken in partnership with more than 40 community-based and faith-based organizations and other partners, and is focused on providing access, overcoming hesitancy and addressing persistent inequities.
