All groups can go to any public vaccination site.
There’s a new website to find a place near you to get the vaccine: vaccinefinder.nyc.gov
(There is still a patchwork of different scheduling systems for various providers which is a problem and needs to be fixed.)

No matter your category, you have to complete an eligibility form before your appointment: forms.ny.gov/s3/vaccine
At your appointment you will need to present proof of employment (work ID, recent pay stub, or letter from your employer).

Covid vaccine appointments are going fast now in NYC. Many sites have none available. They are not making appointments more than a couple of weeks out because of uncertainty about supply.
But new appointments slots will be added daily--keep checking.

One more detail: the city will soon be opening (tomorrow?) a phone # for people aged 75+ to call and schedule a vaccine appointment. This will only be for ease of access, won't offer any appointments not available online.
Great news on Javits Center...
