VNSNY Receives Its First Delivery of COVID-19 Vaccine!

VNSNY received our first delivery of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine yesterday afternoon. The New York City Bureau of Immunization supplied 700 doses in this first shipment, which we are now scheduling for administration to our frontline clinical staff, including home health aides, over the next week. All vaccinations are taking place on the 3rd floor of 220 East 42nd Street, starting today, Thursday, January 7th. Individual staff members will be contacted to schedule both their first shot of the vaccine and their second booster shot, which will be given 28 days after the first dose.

One of the first VNSNY staff members to receive the COVID-19 vaccine was Nina Miro, a VNSNY Home Care nurse in Queens. Here she is, getting her vaccination.

Let the vaccinations begin!
