COVID-19 Vaccine Available for Eligible Patients Age 65+

To our patients,

This week, New York State approved the next phase of the COVID-19 vaccination process, which now includes individuals age 65 and over. We understand you are eager for more information and likely have questions about what it means for you and your loved ones.   

We are required to follow federal and state guidelines and will only schedule vaccine appointments for eligible patients. For a complete list of New York State’s vaccine eligibility groups, you may read more here.  

Weill Cornell Medicine, NewYork-Presbyterian and Columbia Doctors will be administering the vaccine mainly at centralized locations, rather than at the individual offices of your healthcare providers.
Scheduling a Vaccine Appointment  
As appointments become available, eligible Weill Cornell Medicine patients, including those age 65 and older, will see a notification in their Connect account. Due to the high demand and limited supply of the vaccines, eligible patients may not see appointment availability in their Connect account right away – please continue to check back. 

Since appointment availability will change based on with vaccine supplies, we encourage you to check this site daily to see when new appointments have been added. Please do not call your doctor’s office for a vaccine appointment.  

To ensure your Connect account is active, please visit here to login or sign up today.

Thank you for your patience as we work to vaccinate our patients safely under federal and state guidelines.

Please continue to wear masks and follow social distancing guidelines for the ongoing protection of our community.
