COVID-19 Vaccine Information
Weill Cornell Medicine, in partnership with NewYork-Presbyterian, is preparing to acquire and distribute the COVID-19 vaccine. Following a COVID-19 vaccine Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), coronavirus vaccinations will be available for the general public in 2021.
We are committed to keeping you safe and protecting you and your loved ones from COVID-19 during this unprecedented pandemic. COVID-19 vaccinations will be prioritized according to guidelines defined by state and federal agencies, and vaccines are expected to be distributed in phases.
For more information about the COVID-19 vaccine release plans and protocols, please visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for the latest.
At this time, appointments for the vaccine are only available for those that are eligible per New York State guidelines. Effective January 11, 2021, population groups included in Phase 1a & Phase 1b are eligible to receive the vaccine. To see if you’re eligible, please review the New York State Department of Health guidance on the groups included in this current phase of distribution.
Existing Weill Cornell Medicine patients who are eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, will soon be able to schedule through our Connect patient portal for an appointment, as times become available in the upcoming weeks. Weill Cornell Medicine is only able to offer vaccines to existing patients. For more details about eligibility and scheduling availability please visit VaccineTogetherNY.org.

We understand that many people will be interested in receiving a vaccination. Due to limited supply, availability will also be limited. Please note, other vaccine sites for NYC residents are available and continue to open around the city to serve those in our community who are eligible. You may search for these locations using the NYC COVID-19 Vaccine Finder.
We recommend that all patients sign up for a Connect account, as we will be communicating vaccine updates through the patient portal. Connect will also be used for scheduling once you are deemed eligible to receive the vaccine. To ensure your Connect account is active, please visit here to login or sign up today.
We recognize that all Americans are eager to learn more about the vaccine, so we have compiled a few frequently asked questions to address. More information about the vaccine will be updated as it becomes available.
