New York City Mayor Eric Adams City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) Commissioner Dr. Ashwin Vasan announced the city’s plan to roll out COVID-19 vaccines for children aged six months and older beginning next week.
To provide parents and guardians with the most flexibility and accessibility possible, the DOHMH has also been conducting educational outreach to healthcare providers.
Starting June 18 and pending further recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the DOHMH recommends parents and guardians reach out to their child’s pediatrician to see if they will make COVID-19 vaccines available at their offices.
