New York COVID-19 test sites
Operations at the following state-run COVID-19 test sites will be suspended on February 7 due to the approaching winter storm:
Glen Island in New Rochelle;
Aqueduct Racetrack in Queens;
Bronx Bay Plaza in the Bronx;
Lehman College in the Bronx;
Jones Beach on Long Island;
Stony Brook on Long Island;

Seaview Avenue on Staten Island; and
Fountain Avenue in Brooklyn.

New Yorkers with an appointment on Sunday, February 7 will be notified by text and phone. Appointments will be postponed to later in the week.

Community based ‘pop-up’ vaccination sites
Seven community-based ‘pop-up’ vaccination sites will also be delayed due to the storm and moved later in the week. Those eight sites include:
Abyssinian Baptist Church, 132 W 138th New York, NY 10030
BronxWorks, 1130 Grand Concourse, BX, 10456
Mt. Carmel Baptist Church, 1376 Prospect Ave, Bronx, NY 10459

First Baptist Church of Corona, 100-10 Astoria Blvd., East Elmhurst, NY 11369
United Revival Mennonite Church, 390 Melrose St, Brooklyn, NY 11237

Appointments on these community-based ‘pop-up’ vaccination sites are scheduled directly with the host site or partner providers SOMOS Community Care and Northwell Health. These entities will inform the New Yorkers of the agreements scheduled on Sunday, February 7 about this postponement and the new operation data via text message and telephone.

In addition, the Christian Cultural Center site is canceling activities on Sundays because they could extend opening hours and keep all appointments on Saturday.

Massive vaccination sites in New York
As Gov. Cuomo previously announced, the state-run mass vaccination sites at Jones Beach and Stony Brook on Long Island will also suspend operations on Sunday, Feb. 7 due to winter weather. New Yorkers with appointments on these sites will receive an email or text to reschedule their vaccinations for later this week. As part of the rescheduling process and to the extent possible, the timing of new appointments will be scheduled in accordance with the original arrangement. If that new appointment time doesn’t work for a person given the change in day, they will be given a contact number to identify another time that might work better for the person.

Operations at the Westchester County Center, Yankee Stadium, Javits Center, and Aqueduct Racetrack mass vaccination sites will continue as planned as those sites are located indoors and have the infrastructure and equipment to ensure that New Yorkers can safely enter the site with appointments and leave. Operations at the state’s remaining mass vaccination centers throughout Upstate New York also remain unaffected.

Rockland County Clinic rescheduled

The Rockland County Department of Health announces that the COVID-19 vaccination clinic scheduled for tomorrow, Sunday, February 7, 2021, from 9 a.m. – 1 p.m., has been moved to Monday, February 8, 2021, from 1 p.m. – 7 p.m. due to weather.

If you have an appointment for Sunday to get vaccinated at the Rockland County Department of Health clinic, you will receive a COVID-19 vaccine on Mondays between 1:00 PM and 7:00 PM. No new appointment will be scheduled and you can come at your leisure on Monday from 1:00 pm to 7:00 pm. Please be patient when arriving on Monday as it can be busier at some times than others.
