More immunization information

New York City Department of Health operates free immunization clinics in all five boroughs and provides child immunizations required for school attendance (PDF).

They also provide other vaccines for adults, including: Hepatitis B, Td, Tdap, MMR, and pneumococcal vaccines.
Influenza vaccine (seasonal only) is available through June 30th, 2010. HPV vaccine is available to girls and women 9 through 26 years of age and meningococcal vaccine for 11 through 18 year olds. Hepatitis A vaccine is available for high-risk adults.

The immunization clinics are open for patient registration from 8:30 to 2:30. No appointment is necessary; persons will be seen on a first come first served basis. Please arrive early. Due to heavy volume during flu season, clinics may need to close registration early if numbers exceed the capacity of the clinic.
