DOH Update to Advisory: NYS PROVIDER WEBINAR – UPDATED COVID vaccine clinical guidance for vaccinating individuals 6 months-11 years old – Recording

Last week’s NYS Provider Webinar titled “UPDATED COVID vaccine clinical guidance for vaccinating individuals 6 months-11 years old” was a great success. For your continued reference, this webinar was recorded and is available here: https://coronavirus.health.ny.gov/health-provider-webinars

This Provider Webinar offered a high-level summary of the most recent changes to COVID-19 vaccine authorization through the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), including COVID-19 vaccine approvals for those 6 months-11 years old. This presentation also shared details regarding the vaccine options for various age groups and described resources that will support your role in administering the COVID-19 vaccine to your patient population.

We urge providers to actively engage in the program and administer the COVID-19 vaccine to the pediatric population.  If you are an enrolled provider, but have not begun ordering and vaccinating, please do so now. If you are not yet enrolled, please view the instructions linked below so that you can start receiving and administering the COVID-19 vaccine.

To enroll:

Providers in NYS, outside of NYC, must enroll in the NYS COVID-19 Vaccination Program through the Health Commerce System application “COVID-19 Vaccine Program Provider Enrollment” and may review the NYSDOH COVID-19 Vaccination Program Enrollment Letter for additional guidance. Providers in NYC must enroll in the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (NYCDOHMH) program through the City Immunization Registry (CIR) registration page.
