COVID-19 Vaccine Information for Patients

 

We know you have questions about the distribution and availability of COVID-19 vaccines and what it means for you. Based on the limited supply, and in accordance with New York State and New York City guidelines, we are offering the vaccine to these groups, as of March 3, 2021:

  • MSK patients who are age 18 and over, who live in New York State, and who were treated for cancer at MSK on or after January 1, 2018
  • MSK bone marrow transplant (BMT) patients who are age 18 and over, who live in New York State, and who have undergone transplant at MSK since January 1, 2011
