COVID-19 Vaccination Assistance for Older New Yorkers
Manny Cantor Center is part of Educational Alliance’s network of community centers in Lower Manhattan. Over the past year, EA has worked hard to help New Yorkers face the challenges of COVID-19.
Older adults have been particularly vulnerable since the start of the pandemic. Thankfully, vaccines are now available to anyone in New York over the age of 60. Unfortunately, it is extremely difficult to find appointments. We would like to help. EA can’t guarantee vaccine appointments for older adults, but our volunteers and staff are willing to try. We are collecting the names and contact information of people in our community who are 65 and older who need help scheduling an appointment.
If you or a loved one is over 60 and would like help trying to schedule a COVID-19 vaccination appointment, please click here to fill out our contact form.
After you submit the form, a volunteer or staff member will contact you directly to ask for more details and explain how we can help. Again, there is no guarantee that we can find an appointment for everyone who contacts us, but we will try our hardest.
You can also stop by for in-person support at our new Older Adult Vaccine Help Table available in the MCC’s lobby at 197 East Broadway during the following times:
Mondays – Fridays | 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM
Mondays – Thursdays | 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM
