New York Public Libraries Offer Free Pfizer Vaccines

NEW YORK CITY — New Yorkers can now pick up a good read and protection from COVID-19 at the same time.

For the next few days, two public libraries in Manhattan will be administering free Pfizer vaccines— up to 80 vaccines each day — from mobile vaccination vans. Appointments are not necessary.

"We're going to bring mobile vaccination vans to libraries all across the city to reach families, to reach young people," said Mayor Bill de Blasio. "Those mobile sites are really going to help get more and more people vaccinated, particularly young people."

In Manhattan, you can get vaccinated at these two NYPL locations:

• Stavros Niarchos Foundation Library on Fifth Avenue (across the street from the Library’s iconic Stephen A. Schwarzman Building): June 14 to June 16, 10 a.m. - 6 p.m.
• Seward Park Library at 192 East Broadway on the Lower East Side: June 16 to June 18, 8 a.m. - 6 p.m.

The mobile clinics are part of the Community Vaccine Clinic program operated by the NYC Test & Trace Corps. Vaccinations will be administered by clinical staff.
