People Age 65 and Older Should Get an Additional Vaccine Dose

On February 28, 2024, the CDC recommended that people 65 and older should get an additional dose of any updated COVID-19 vaccine at least four months after their previous shot. This recommendation reflects that the risk of severe disease from COVID-19 continues throughout the year and is highest among older adults.

Updated COVID-19 Vaccines Recommended for Everyone 6 Months and Older

COVID-19 vaccines have been updated for the 2023-2024 season and are designed to protect against newer COVID-19 variants and strengthen people’s protection against the virus.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that everyone ages 6 months and older get an updated COVID-19 vaccine.

While anyone can become very sick from COVID-19, the vaccine is especially lifesaving for people who:

  • Are 65 or older
  • Are pregnant
  • Have an underlying health condition that puts them at higher risk for severe outcomes
  • Have certain disabilities that may increase their risk for having underlying health conditions

Vaccination can help reduce the duration and severity of COVID-19 symptoms if you become infected, and it reduces the risk of long COVID for adults and children.

Get Vaccinated Today

To find a vaccination site, use the City's Vaccine Finder. You can search for specific types of vaccines and age-specific doses. Locations that offer the updated vaccines will be added to the site on a rolling basis — check back regularly for updates.

No-cost vaccines are available for people who are uninsured and regardless of immigration status. You can search for no-cost vaccine sites using the “Insurance” tab within Vaccine Finder.

Call 212-COVID19 (212-268-4319) for vaccination assistance.

COVID-19 vaccines remain our best protection against COVID-19. Even healthy people can become very sick from COVID-19 and should be vaccinated.

If you get COVID-19, vaccines reduce your risk of long-term health effects , including long COVID. Even people who have had COVID-19 should get vaccinated.

The vaccines now available from Pfizer, Moderna and Novavax are designed to protect against newer variants. In studies, they were shown to be effective against current circulating variants. They also help strengthen your protection against the virus, which is important as protection lessens over time.

Everyone should stay up to date with their vaccines. For most people, that means getting just one updated 2023-2024 vaccine dose.

Vaccines and Schedules

Three updated vaccines are available in the US: Pfizer (Comirnaty), Moderna (Spikevax), and Novavax. The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are available for people ages 6 months and older, and the Novavax vaccine for people ages 12 and older.

The CDC recommends an updated vaccine for everyone ages 6 months and older. The prior versions of the Pfizer, Moderna and Novavax vaccines are no longer available.

People 5 years and older

Most people ages 5 years and older need just one updated vaccine dose to be considered up to date.

  • If you previously received one or more COVID-19 vaccine dose, get one dose of the Pfizer, Moderna or Novavax updated vaccine — it does not matter which brand. However, Novavax is only available for ages 12 and older.
  • If you never received a COVID-19 vaccine dose, get either one dose of the updated Pfizer or Moderna vaccine or two doses (three weeks apart) of the updated Novavax vaccine.
  • If you are 65 or older or immunocompromised, you may need additional doses for better protection .
  • The updated vaccine can be administered two months after your last dose.

If you recently had COVID-19, you can consider waiting three months before getting your next vaccine dose. You may want to get vaccinated sooner than three months if you are at higher risk of severe illness from COVID-19 or getting it again. Talk to your provider about when you should get your next vaccine.

Children Younger than 5

Children younger than age 5 still need multiple doses of vaccines. The vaccines for this age group have been updated with the new formula, but are a lower dose than for older people. Only the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are available for this age group.

Children who have never received a COVID-19 vaccine should follow this schedule:

Updated Pfizer Vaccine

  • Ages: 6 months to 4 years
  • Doses: Three
  • Schedule: Second dose given at least 21 days after the first, and the third dose given at least 56 days after the second.

Updated Moderna Vaccine

  • Doses: Two (children who are immunocompromised should get three doses)
  • Schedule: Second dose given at least 28 days after the first

Children ages 6 months through 4 years who have already received one or more doses of a COVID-19 vaccine should receive the updated vaccine. The number of updated doses they need will depend on the vaccine and their vaccination history. Ask your child’s provider how many doses they need.

A parent or guardian must provide consent for their child to be vaccinated. Consent can be given in person, by phone or in writing, depending on the vaccination site.

Additional Doses for People Ages 65 and Older and People With a Weakened Immune System

The CDC recommends that people 65 and older should get an additional vaccine dose of the 2023-2024 updated COVID-19 vaccine at least four months after their previous shot.

People who have a weakened immune system — such as those being treated for cancer or who have had an organ transplant — can get additional doses as long as they are given at least two months apart.

People who have a weakened immune system and received previous COVID-19 vaccines should get at least one updated vaccine dose. They can get additional updated doses at least two months after the last updated vaccine dose if recommended by their provider.

People who have a weakened immune system and have never received a COVID-19 vaccine should get three vaccine doses as part of their initial vaccine series. They can then get additional doses, as noted above.

Learn more about the COVID-19 vaccine.

Vaccine Recommendations

Everyone 6 months and older should get the new, updated COVID-19 vaccine. This new vaccine protects against both the original virus that causes COVID-19 and current variants.

The new, updated Pfizer or Moderna COVID-19 vaccines are the only brands of the updated COVID-19 vaccine currently available in the US. It doesn’t matter which brand you choose. Older Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are no longer available.

You should get the updated vaccine, even if you’ve already received:

  • Any original COVID-19 vaccines
  • The older bivalent booster that targeted earlier Omicron subvariants

The number of doses you need depends on your age and if you’re at risk of severe COVID-19 illness.

If you recently had COVID-19, talk to your health care provider about when you should get your next vaccine.

People 5 Years or Older

Everyone 5 years and older should get one dose of the new, updated COVID-19 vaccine. You can get the new vaccine two months after your last dose.

If you are 65 or older, you may get a second dose of the updated vaccine 4 or more months after your first dose. Talk to your health care provider if you have questions about the number of doses you need.

Children Younger Than 5

Children 6 months to 4 years old need multiple doses of COVID-19 vaccines. Young children get the same vaccine as for adults, but at a lower dose.

The number of doses needed for this age group depends on the child’s vaccination history.

  • Schedule: Second dose given at least 21 days after the first, and the third dose given at least 56 days after the second.
  • Doses: 2 (if immunocompromised, the child should get three doses)
  • Schedule: Second dose given at least 28 days after the first
  • If the child has already received one or more doses of a COVID-19 vaccine, talk to your child’s health care provider. The child should get at least one dose of the new, updated Pfizer or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine, but the total number of doses they need depends on the vaccine and how many doses they’ve previously received.

People with a Weakened Immune System

If you have a weakened immune system, you should get more than one dose of the new, updated COVID-19 vaccine. You can get additional doses as long as they are given at least two months apart.

If you have never received a COVID-19 vaccine, you should get three vaccine doses as part of your initial series. Then, you can also get additional doses at least 2 months after the last one.

Talk with your health care provider if you have questions about how many vaccine doses you should get.

What are travel vaccines.

Travel vaccines are a way to help protect travelers from serious diseases and complications. It’s possible you might come into contact with diseases, such as yellow fever, that are rare in the United States. Some countries require that you get certain vaccines before traveling there.

To discover what vaccines you need before you embark on your trip, it’s best to visit Dr. Galstian and the team at Family Medicine NYC, PC.

The travel vaccines recommended for you depend on:

  • Where you plan to travel
  • Your overall health
  • The vaccines you’ve had previously

Some countries require proof of vaccination for some diseases, such as yellow fever or polio. If you have a weakened immune system or an ongoing illness, you might require additional vaccines.

When should I get my travel vaccines?

You should get vaccinated at least four to six weeks before your trip. This helps to ensure the vaccines have ample time to begin working, offering you optimal travel protection.

Some vaccines might require more than one dose. Starting your vaccines in advance gives you more time to receive any additional doses.

The team at Family Medicine NYC, PC offers personalized plans that are specific to your travel itinerary and health history. During your travel health appointment, your doctor goes over your personal medical history, provides and plans any necessary vaccines, and gives you valuable information and tips for remaining healthy on your journey.

What are the different types of travel vaccines?

There are different types of travel vaccines. Some vaccines are recommended for most travelers, such as:

  • Hepatitis A
  • Hepatitis B
  • Yellow fever

Other vaccines are recommended for people traveling to certain areas where there are higher risks. Antimalarials are provided for those traveling to malaria-risk areas, and rabies vaccines are recommended for those traveling in remote areas, the outdoors, and those who might come into contact with bats, dogs, and other mammals.

Children are considered a higher risk for a number of complications and infections and require different travel vaccines. For your convenience, Family Medicine NYC, PC offers pediatric travel vaccines.

Other vaccines that Family Medicine NYC, PC offers include:

  • Immune globulin
  • Japanese encephalitis
  • MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella)
  • DPT (diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis)

If you have upcoming travel plans and want to protect your health with the most advanced and effective medical care, call or schedule your appointment online with Family Medicine NYC, PC in New York City.

With a flawed early rollout full of political squabbling and concerns about doses going unused, the first month of vaccine distribution in New York did not inspire confidence in the historically massive effort. But thanks to recent expansions of who can access the vaccine — and federal supply now matching state demand — all adults in New York can now get a shot. Below is a guide to the ever-changing process.

Who can currently sign up for the vaccine?

As of April 6, anyone 16 and older who resides, works, or studies in New York is now eligible to schedule appointments to get vaccinated. New York was one of the last states to announce the opening of vaccine sign-ups to all adults. All New Yorkers over the age of 18 can receive any of the three vaccine candidates, but teenagers between 16 and 18 will only be able to receive the Pfizer candidate, as the Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccines were not approved for minors. ( Prior to emergency use authorization, Moderna and J&J limited trials to those over 18, while Pfizer tests involved those as young as 12.)

All NYC-run and state-run sites now accept walk-ins

As of April 27, all New Yorkers 16 and over can get vaccinated without an appointment at any of the New York City-run or state-run vaccination sites. The 35 municipal sites accepting walk-ins, including three which are open 24 hours a day, are listed here . (Residency restrictions have also been lifted at all city-run sites.) The 16 state-run mass-vaccination sites are listed here .

How do I sign up for a scheduled appointment otherwise?

New Yorkers who want to schedule a vaccination at a state-run site can visit this page , which will list vaccination sites with available appointments, or this page for non-state-run sites — COVID vaccines available at pharmacies, hospitals, local health departments, and federally qualified health centers. (For people without internet access, the state has also launched a hotline: 1-833-NYS-4VAX.)

After making an an appointment, you must complete a state-required vaccine form affirming you are eligible (i.e. residing, working, or studying in New York State). Upon completion, you will be given a submission ID, which you must bring to your appointment. You must also bring proof of eligibility to your appointment. As the state site notes, “Depending on your eligibility category, proof can include an employee ID card, a letter from an employer or affiliated organization, a pay stub, a driver’s license, passport, or any legal proof of your date of birth and residency. At the time of your appointment, you’ll be asked a series of clinical questions to ensure readiness for a vaccine. You will be asked for insurance information BUT the vaccine is free and there will never be a charge to you. This information is for administrative use only.”

Once a resident receives their first vaccine dose, a second dose appointment will be scheduled automatically for the same time and at the same location as the original dose — and the state will provide a card with the date and time indicated, as well as a confirmation email.

Bots have also been set up to help New Yorkers find vaccine appointments amid the sign-up rush and the last-minute appointment openings.

In New York City, the Health Department has set up a portal called the NYC COVID Vaccine Finder to help residents schedule appointments. But as Gothamist notes , “the  Health Department  and  NYC Health + Hospitals  still have sign-up sites for their locations, and clinics or other smaller healthcare centers have their individual sign-up processes as well.” With the NYC Health Department requiring residents to answer around 50 questions in the verification process, it raises immediate concerns about accessibility for older New Yorkers and those without access to computers.

On March 12, Governor Andrew Cuomo signed legislation authorizing four hours of paid time off per vaccine injection for all New York’s public and private employees.

If I’ve received the first shot, how do I get the second?

For those that have already gotten their first dose, their inoculation information will be entered into the New York State Immunization Information System run by the Department of Health. The system will remind residents to get a second vaccine dose via mailers, robocalls, and text messages. The provider who administered the first dose is responsible for administering the second; the state’s guideline say “providers must schedule the second dose appointment for recipients at the time the first dose is administered.”

With President Biden requesting that all states make all adults eligible by April 19, New York City continues to expand access for vulnerable communities by launching mobile vaccine buses and opening up walk-in access for those over 75 at over 25 vaccination centers.

New York City’s Goal: 5 Million Vaccinations by June

As the number of vaccine doses supplied by the federal government increases, the state is vaccinated record numbers of New Yorkers: On March 28, Governor Cuomo announced that over 1 million doses had been administered in the past seven days.

In early March, Mayor de Blasio announced an ambitious goal of 5 million New York City residents vaccinated by June; last week New York City inoculated 478,000 people , a new seven-day high. The mayor made the announcement at a new vaccination site at Co-Op City in the Bronx, one of New York’s centers that will do homebound senior inoculations with the Johnson & Johnson candidate, which only requires one dose. In mid-March, the city opened up the inoculation outreach program throughout all five boroughs, with the goal of vaccinating the entire homebound population by the end of April. To sign up, seniors or their families can visit the NYC portal or call 877-VAX-4NYC.

As of April 3 , over 10 million doses have been administered in New York, with almost one in three adults having received at least one dose. Almost one in five are fully vaccinated.

What about New York’s vaccine passport?

On March 26, New York state introduced an app that has been called a “vaccine passport.” Built by IBM, the Excelsior Pass will show a resident’s vaccination status or recent negative COVID test to allow them into venues at participating locations, which already include shows and games at Madison Square Garden.

What were some of the early supply delays?

Due to the Trump administration’s failure to secure enough doses to support the CDC’s new recommendations speeding up the vaccination process, there was an early shortage of vaccines in New York and many other states. On January 20, the New York City Health Department announced it would close 15 of its vaccination centers on until January 22 due to the shortage — resulting in 22,000 rescheduled shot appointments and a pause on new appointments.

On January 24, new CDC director Rochelle Walensky told Fox News that “We don’t have as many doses as we would like now for states like New York.” The bar had been set pretty low. Two days before, the state ran out of vaccines — until the next shipment of 250,000 at some point in the coming week. In the interim, “the city is now considering giving them as first doses for those still waiting and backfilling the supply and delaying by a few weeks the second shot for those who already gotten the first,” as ABC reports .

“Only Jesus with loaves and fishes could handle the situation that the federal government created,” Cuomo said. “Because they created such a demand and they never increased the supply.”

Vaccine challenges continue to accrue nationwide. Pfizer is now sending out fewer vials in order to account for the single excess dose contained within each container. As Politico notes , some syringes distributed by the federal government aren’t efficient enough to extract the sixth dose, leading hospitals to throw out precious vaccine supply.

As the pandemic trudges forward, the same problems that have affected public-health response since its early days are enduring in the vaccination effort. According to the New York Times , Governor Cuomo continues to side-step public-health experts. And in New York City, partial demographic data from vaccinations so far shows that 15 percent of recipients are Latino and just 11 percent are Black — despite these groups making up 29 percent and 24 percent of the city’s population.

On March 1, Mayor de Blasio noted that 42 percent of shots administered at the Javits Center in Manhattan and 75 percent of COVID shots administered at the Aqueduct Racetrack in Queens were given to people who do not live in New York City.

Vaccine clinic on wheels: Rockland adds ways to get immunized amid national measles surge

where to get travel vaccines nyc

Rockland County has added a mobile vaccination unit to its childhood vaccination efforts.

The new vaccination clinic on wheels comes as cases of measles are climbing worldwide, in the U.S. and in New York.

While Rockland has not seen a case of measles this year, the county managed a measles outbreak in 2018 and 2019. In 2022, Rockland County also saw the first case of polio in the U.S. in decades.

The van, purchased with federal COVID funds, is already up and running. The idea, county spokesperson Beth Cefalu has said, is to get the shots to where they're needed.

Plans for community visits could include sites in East Ramapo school district, county officials said. The greater Spring Valley area is home to a large new immigrant community and the district has reported many new enrollees from Haiti, Central and South America. Often, kids arrive without vaccination records from their home country. Providing on-site shots could help kids catch up and ensure they meet state vaccination regulations for school attendance.

Vaccination rates have slipped in recent years, for various reasons, all over.

Rockland County, though, has long had its own challenges with pockets of low childhood vaccination rates.

Urgency amid Rockland's vulnerability

As of April 18, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had documented 125 measles cases across the U.S. in 2024. That includes three cases in New York; two in NYC and one in Nassau County, according to the New York State Department of Health.

Rockland County remains vulnerable, county officials have said.

In 2018-2019, Rockland witnessed a measles outbreak that ultimately sickened 312; there were 649 cases found in New York City.

“To successfully prevent measles from resurfacing in this county we need cooperation from all communities,” County Executive Ed Day said in a statement.

Polio: Rockland hits full year with no virus found in wastewater

In July 2022, a Monsey man suffered permanent paralysis from polio, an outcome often feared before a vaccine came into use in the early 1960s. The man had not traveled outside the U.S.

Wastewater testing showed the polio virus had been present for months. Subsequent testing of sewage treatment systems around downstate New York have not shown the virus' presence since February 2023.

Focus on upping immunization numbers

County officials have been focused on upping immunization rates since the measles outbreak in the last teens, throughout COVID and through the recent polio scare.

The county's health department recently launched a childhood immunization campaign .

Cefalu said that Rockland Health Department clinics have seen an increase in visits by 50% between 2021 and 2023.

Still, as of Aug. 1, 2023, New York state health records showed pockets of low polio vaccination rates among Rockland County children age 2 and under. For example, in the 10952 ZIP code, which covers the greater Monsey area, just 41.4% of babies and toddlers were vaccinated against polio; in the 10977 postal code, the Spring Valley area, the polio vaccination rate was 55.9%.

How to get vaccinated

Rockland County clinics provide free vaccines through the Vaccines for Children and Vaccines for Adults programs. Find out about eligibility at 845-364-2520/2524. 

Clinic appointments are available by appointment (call 845-364-2520 to schedule) at the following times and locations:

  • 8:30-11 a.m. Mondays and Wednesdays at Rockland County Department of Health Clinic, Yeager Center Building A, 2nd floor Rotunda area, 50 Sanatorium Road, Pomona, NY 10970.
  • 8:30-11 a.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays at Rockland County Department of Health Spring Valley Clinic, 14 S. Main St., Spring Valley, NY 10977.

Could Trump Go to Prison? If He Does, the Secret Service Goes, Too

Officials have had preliminary discussions about how to protect the former president in the unlikely event that he is jailed for contempt during the trial.

  • Share full article

Several men and women wearing dark suits standing around an airport tarmac.

By William K. Rashbaum

The U.S. Secret Service is in the business of protecting the president, whether he’s inside the Oval Office or visiting a foreign war zone.

But protecting a former president in prison? The prospect is unprecedented. That would be the challenge if Donald J. Trump — whom the agency is required by law to protect around the clock — is convicted at his criminal trial in Manhattan and sentenced to serve time.

Even before the trial’s opening statements, the Secret Service was in some measure planning for the extraordinary possibility of a former president behind bars. Prosecutors had asked the judge in the case to remind Mr. Trump that attacks on witnesses and jurors could land him in jail even before a verdict is rendered.

(The judge, who held a hearing Tuesday morning to determine whether Mr. Trump should be held in contempt for violating a gag order, is far more likely to issue a warning or impose a fine before taking the extreme step of jailing the 77-year-old former president. It was not immediately clear when he would issue his ruling.)

Last week, as a result of the prosecution’s request, officials with federal, state and city agencies had an impromptu meeting about how to handle the situation, according to two people with knowledge of the matter.

That behind-the-scenes conversation — involving officials from the Secret Service and other relevant law enforcement agencies — focused only on how to move and protect Mr. Trump if the judge were to order him briefly jailed for contempt in a courthouse holding cell, the people said.

The far more substantial challenge — how to safely incarcerate a former president if the jury convicts him and the judge sentences him to prison rather than home confinement or probation — has yet to be addressed directly, according to some of a dozen current and former city, state and federal officials interviewed for this article.

That’s at least in part because if Mr. Trump is ultimately convicted, a drawn-out and hard-fought series of appeals, possibly all the way up to the U.S. Supreme Court, is almost a certainty. That would most likely delay any sentence for months if not longer, said several of the people, who noted that a prison sentence was unlikely.

But the daunting challenge remains. And not just for Secret Service and prison officials, who would face the logistical nightmare of safely incarcerating Mr. Trump, who is also the presumptive Republican nominee for President.

“Obviously, it’s uncharted territory,” said Martin F. Horn, who has worked at the highest levels of New York’s and Pennsylvania’s state prison agencies and served as commissioner of New York City’s correction and probation departments. “Certainly no state prison system has had to deal with this before, and no federal prison has had to either.”

Steven Cheung, the communications director for Mr. Trump’s campaign, said the case against the former president was “so spurious and so weak” that other prosecutors had refused to bring it, and called it “an unprecedented partisan witch hunt.”

“That the Democrat fever dream of incarcerating the nominee of the Republican Party has reached this level exposes their Stalinist roots and displays their utter contempt for American democracy,” he said.

Protecting Mr. Trump in a prison environment would involve keeping him separate from other inmates, as well as screening his food and other personal items, officials said. If he were to be imprisoned, a detail of agents would work 24 hours a day, seven days a week, rotating in and out of the facility, several officials said. While firearms are obviously strictly prohibited in prisons, the agents would nonetheless be armed.

Former corrections officials said there were several New York state prisons and city jails that have been closed or partly closed, leaving wings or large sections of their facilities empty and available. One of those buildings could serve to incarcerate the former president and accommodate his Secret Service protective detail

Anthony Guglielmi, the spokesman for the Secret Service in Washington, declined in a statement to discuss specific “protective operations.” But he said that federal law requires Secret Service agents to protect former presidents, adding that they use state-of-the-art technology, intelligence and tactics to do so.

Thomas J. Mailey, a spokesman for New York State’s prison agency, said his department couldn’t speculate about how it would treat someone who has not yet been sentenced, but that it has a system “to assess and provide for individuals’ medical, mental health and security needs.” Frank Dwyer, a spokesman for the New York City jails agency, said only that “the department would find appropriate housing” for the former president.

The trial in Manhattan, one of four criminal cases pending against Mr. Trump and possibly the only one that will go to a jury before the election, centers on accusations he falsified records to cover up a sex scandal involving a porn star. The former president is charged with 34 counts of felony falsifying business records. If convicted, the judge in the case, Juan M. Merchan, could sentence him to punishments ranging from probation to four years in state prison, though for a first-time offender of Mr. Trump’s age, such a term would be extreme.

If Mr. Trump is convicted, but elected president again, he could not pardon himself because the prosecution was brought by New York State.

Under normal circumstances, any sentence of one year or less, colloquially known as “city time,” would generally be served on New York City’s notorious Rikers Island, home to the Department of Correction’s seven jails. (That’s where Mr. Trump’s former chief financial officer, Allen H. Weisselberg, 76, is currently serving his second five-month sentence for crimes related to his work for his former boss.)

Any sentence of more than a year, known as state time, would generally be served in one of the 44 prisons run by New York State’s Department of Corrections and Community Supervision.

The former president could also be sentenced to a term of probation, raising the bizarre possibility of the former commander in chief reporting regularly to a civil servant at the city’s Probation Department.

He would have to follow the probation officer’s instructions and answer questions about his work and personal life until the term of probation ended. He would also be barred from associating with disreputable people, and if he committed any additional crimes, he could be jailed immediately.
