Made appointment through AdvantageCare website.

Another neighbor was able to schedule an appointment through https://vaccinefinder.nyc.gov/.

Checked in, then waited outside, socially distanced before being called in 15 minutes after scheduled appointment time. Another individual waited outside for 30 minutes before being called in.

Checked insurance and ID card, and printed out the state eligibility form.

It was a doctor’s office with around 8 people inside, socially distanced. Everyone wore masks and were friendly and respectful.

Was able to schedule the second appointment before leaving.

Received Moderna. Arm was sore, had a headache and was fatigued the next day.

Suggests printing and filling out the consent form ahead of time to save time once you are there.

No appointment, walked up and waited in line.

Total wait time was 2 hours (including waiting for the site to open).

Checked ID, insurance and proof of eligibility.

Everyone was nice and helpful, and the process was clear.

Social distancing was enforced and masks were worn.

Scheduled the second appointment right after receiving the vaccination.

Received Moderna. Redness, swelling, and itchiness at the injection site.

I found the appointment via TurboVax.

8pm appointment time. There was no line, and the experience was overall quick and easy.

They only checked the QR code I'd gotten by email as confirmation when I made the appointment. I didn't have to show any proof of my eligibility. I had entered my insurance information through the city's vaccination web platform ahead of time, but I imagine I would have been asked about it on-site if I hadn't.

The nurse who gave me my shot was kind and efficient.

There was a uniformed security guard at the entrance to the BAT vaccination/testing area, but no law enforcement or National Guard or anything. It's a mobile site, so the only time you're actually inside one of the temporary trailers is when you're getting the shot itself. The waiting and the observation period are all outside or in a big tent with large holes (so basically outside).

Social distancing was enforced and masks were worn.

Everyone was directed to people scheduling the second shots after our observation period.

Received first dose of Moderna. No bad side effects, just a little tired and a sore arm!

I made the appointment by monitoring turbovax.info as well as vaccinefinder.nyc.gov for several hours on a Tuesday late morning / early afternoon. Every time I saw an appointment that would be feasible for me to get to, I clicked on it and tried to register. Several times I got through the first part of registration only to be told the appointment was no longer available. I think being willing and able to schedule an appointment for an inconvenient time (3am) also helped

When I got to the location it was the middle of the night and I was alone in a somewhat industrial part of the city. I was on the brooklyn army terminal campus but did not know where vaccines were actually being distributed. I called the vaccine hotline for information and was soon able to speak with a very caring and helpful employee to ask for further directions. While on the phone with her, I noticed a parking attendant, who was ultimately able to point me to the correct location (not in any of the brooklyn army terminal buildings, but in a tent around the corner). I was to my knowledge the only patient at the facility during the time of my vaccination. all of the POD workers were very helpful and friendly.

Checked id, appointment verification.

There was no line at the time I was vaccinated.

Outdoor tent in an industrial area of Brooklyn near the waterfront. Maybe 10-15 health personnel inside, with a police van outside and a parking attendant. I did not see anyone else who was receiving the vaccine at the time I went.

Everyone other than me was a healthcare worker or parking attendant. All were wearing masks. I was the only vaccine recipient I saw so social distancing was not an issue.

I was able to schedule my second shot on site.

Received first dose of Moderna. Shot felt like typical injection. Afterwards had pain in arm, pinky and ring finger were numb, had slight flu-like symptoms for a day.

If you are able to go in the middle of the night you are likely to encounter fewer crowds. However, the area also feels somewhat abandoned in the middle of the night, so be sure you know where you are going in advance.

Scheduled the appointment through the NYS Health and Hospitals site - appts happened to pop up the night before around 9pm, were gone quickly.

Three hour wait before checking in.

Checked insurance info, ID and (in my case) doctor's letter.

Everyone was lovely!

Temporary office structures built in a parking lot.

Social distancing was enforced and masks were worn.

They scheduled the second dose before I left.

Received Moderna, shot was easy, sore arm for a couple days afterward.

There are long wait times not appropriate for someone elderly or with certain medical conditions.

Received second dose.

Made appointment through vaccinepod website.

No line at all, because they were only giving second doses that day, and they only announced it two hours before, by emailing us.

No documents were checked.

Everyone was very friendly and helpful.

Felt very safe. There were about 6 nurses giving shots in the large gym

Social distancing was enforced and people were wearing masks.

Received Moderna. Arm was sore and felt feverish (chills) but didn't actually have a temperature.

It's a bit hard to get to Bushwick from Kensington.

Made an appointment on NYC vaccine hub website.

We lined up outside for a 10am appointment, about 50 people in different lines depending on appointment time. Very orderly, the line moved fast and I was indoors and getting the vaccine within 10 min.

They checked driver’s license.

Everyone was very pleasant and helpful.

Big high school cafeteria, about a dozen tables spaces out for vaccines. Had to wait afterwards in the auditorium for about a half hour for observation and to get second appointment

Social distancing was enforced and masks were worn.

Received first dose of Moderna. Had a sore arm for about a day afterwards. Long-haul covid symptoms have been worse since then (fever, fatigue) but hopefully the second shot will get rid of that.

Highly recommend this location.

Made the appointment online. I just kept checking until I was able to find an appointment that worked.

The line was manageable. I was probably in and out within an hour and change.

Only things that were checked were my ID and appointment confirmation. No doctors note, insurance, etc.

Mostly volunteers there. Everybody was super helpful.

Very big and spread out. Very little law enforcement. The spacing felt appropriate and safe.

Social distancing was enforced and everybody was wearing masks as well.

Scheduled the second shot on site after the shot.

Received Modern. The shot itself was fine. The first day/night was fine. Arm pain. The next day was rough. I was extremely fatigued, nauseous, had chills and had some hives on my back and arm. Felt better day three.

Just ask when you get there for which line you should be and obviously be patient : )

Made appointment with online state eligibility form.

I ended up going 2 times, so 2 data points. Went on Thursday night (a day early) and the line was very long, wrapped around the building. It was backed up, and the line inched forward, but then workers would come around (about 45 minutes later than the appointment time) calling out "5:20? anyone with a 5:20 appointment (or 5:10, 5:00, etc.)?" and then they'd take that group to the front. Then you got checked in by roving staff on Ipads, and put into a lined up group with about 10-15 others with your appointment time.There were about a half dozen of these grouped lines in the front of the building, almost like in military formation. You waited on that line until the lines in front of you moved in, finally after about 6 lines (each taking about 15 minutes to check in) then you moved inside.

When I went on my actual appointment day, the line was not backed up, you were immediately placed into one of the group lines. When you get inside, it’s a windy line that takes another 20 minutes or so to get into the cafeteria, then you get your vaccine, and you get a number. Then you go to the auditorium for 15 minutes, they call your number, you get your second appointment, and leave. I arrived at 5:10 and I left at 6:40. On the backed up day, it would have taken me closer 2, 2.5 hours had I kept going through the line.

It’s very orderly and the staff are helpful, upbeat, and kind to people. They made exceptions for people that couldn't stand for a long time, let those who needed the bathroom go. People there for vaccines were in good spirits, patient, all well masked. They also took people that were late to the group that had their appointments, jumping people that had been waiting longer, so definitely don't go early, there's no reason to. Generally it was really well done, just felt like it took a long time, but it appears they are serving a lot of people.

No documents were checked, they just look at your appointment confirmation on your phone or print out. They are regularly announcing "get out your ID and appointment" but they never look at your ID, they mostly just ask for your birthdate and name and find you on the Ipad.

Interactions were very positive, like I said they are friendly, they explain stuff, they are all super masked and face shielded.

It was a large high school, large numbers of people, walked through the foyer of the high school to a cafeteria, then to an auditorium. No cops that I saw.

Social distancing was enforced, people worse masks and face shields.

Second appointment was scheduled on site right after waiting 15 minutes.

Received first dose of Moderna. Didn’t really feel it going in. So far no side effects on first dose.

Show up right on time. Parking is not difficult in the neighborhood, but you have to look around a bit.

Made the appointment online. Had to refresh the page multiple times to get an appointment in Brooklyn.

There was no line. Take the elevator to the second floor.

Staff said they are busiest first thing in the morning.

Checked ID and insurance.

Everyone was incredibly kind and thorough.

It was in a large room within the hospital.

People were set up to socially distance and everyone wore masks correctly.

Second appointment was automatically scheduled for 28 days later.

Received Moderna.

Parking at the hospital was tricky to find, as some of it is under construction, but it is available for a fee.

Received first dose of Pfizer

There were multiple lines and stations to stop at. Total time spent there was about 1.5 hours.

Checked passport for proof of age and appointment confirmation e-mail.

Everyone was very nice and friendly.

Building was huge, hundreds of people were there, including substantial enforcement presence.

Social distancing was enforced and masks were worn.

Received a date for the second shot but the computers crashed as they were checking out, workers said they would phone or email about the location.

Didn’t experience side effects.

Word of mouth/communication are great ways to find out where appointments are available.

Received second dose of Moderna.

There was a QR scan posted in the recovery area following 1st vaccination. It made setting up the appointment very efficient. Setting up my first vaccine was a stressful and time consuming mess. I heard of this site where I was ultimately successful via word of mouth. Even though I registered, I had to repeatedly fill out the same questionnaire each time I attempted to check a different location listed via the website.

About 8 people in front of me. Line was orderly and staff was circulating checking documentation. Line moved smoothly. Staff had all details well coordinated.

Driver's License, appointment number, QR code were given at online registration.

Everybody was calm, pleasant and helpful. Staff circulated consistently. Extra masks were made available upon request. There was something comforting and upbeat about the way this site was being run.

There was minimal wait time outside, people distanced 6' at all times and ample staff providing direction.Vaccines were administered in cafeteria using opposite ends of long tables; staff was exceptionally kind and supportive, and there were enough administering doses to keep the line moving at all times. (They held up paddles with numbers - like Trader Joe's - to show when location was available for the next person, so very easy to spot.) Plenty of staff in the cafeteria to see that people got where they needed to go both before and after vaccination.

There were chairs set up (distanced) in the gym while people waited for 15 minutes after vaccination. Staff circulated here as well, and chatted with vaccine recipients to see how they were doing.

There were at least 2 uniformed cops standing outside the entrance.

With the first dose, had slight momentary wooziness within the initial moment the vaccine received. Injection site became sore and entire arm was sore that night. I also felt fatigued and slept for several hours.

With the second dose, there was more fatigue - I slept on and off for a few hours at a time for the rest of that day as well as the next. Arm soreness was more localized toward the upper part of my arm (ice pack helped enormously). I awoke during the first night with chills; took Tylenol and added blanket. By the next day, I continued to sleep on and off. Temperature fluctuated somewhat over the course of the day, but nothing significant.

I was especially appreciative that special arrangements were available with Curb for seniors who could not otherwise get to this site location. Thankfully I ended up not needing their transport, but it was enormously helpful to know that I would be able to get to my appointment regardless of potential snow storm.

I appreciated that this site was not one of the mega-sites that had people waiting outdoors in the cold for endless amounts of time. In a particularly nerve wracking time, it was so reassuring to believe that the second dose that was committed to me would indeed be there when the time came - as it was.

I really appreciated the care I received at 105 Johnson Street.

Tried to make an appointment for days and finally got lucky.

There was no line at 12:40pm.

Checked appointment confirmation and ID.

All of the workers were extremely helpful.

Vaccine took place in a cafeteria.

One or two NYPD officers were present.

Social distancing was enforced and everyone was wearing masks.

Scheduled the second shot on site.

Received Moderna.

Made an appointment through vaccinepod.nyc.gov.

Long line around the block. Checked in 40 minutes after scheduled appointment time. Waited on the line outside for most of the time, then waited indoors with about 10 others before receiving the vaccine.

Separated individuals with sooner appointment times into a separate line. One neighbor received the vaccine 15 minutes after scheduled time.

There were bathrooms at the entrance that said “one person at a time”.

Was asked about eligibility and for appointment number and ID, but did not ask for proof of eligibility. Filled out a short survey on smart phone after providing the appointment number.

Workers were friendly and asked those near the front of the line if they had any questions about the vaccine or possible reactions.

Not much law enforcement present.

The line indoors was short and moved quickly, but with volunteers guiding those entering and exiting, there were about 20 people in a hallway at points.

Received Moderna vaccine in a large cafeteria with low ceilings. Vaccine was administered by 8 different providers who were spaced out on a long table.

Almost everyone was wearing masks correctly.

It was unclear how to schedule the second dose. While being observed after the injection, they received an e-mail with confusing information stating “you cannot schedule your second dose yet”, but later learned the second dose should have been scheduled ASAP.

Another neighbor stated that there were signs taped to the walls explaining how to schedule your second appointment and workers with ipads were able to assist you.

People were assured there were EpiPens in every room in case anyone had an allergic reaction.

Slight fever on day 2 after receiving the injection. Arm soreness/redness starting 3 hours after injection, lasting until 4 days post injection.

Received the first dose.

Made the appointment online.

I waited outside for about 20 minutes. There were about 15 people in front of me.

Only driver’s license was checked.

The person giving the vaccines was great.

Took place in a gym. Police were present.

There was social distancing. Staff were all wearing masks. Most of the police officers present had their masks around their chins or below their noses.

I scheduled my second shot on my phone while waiting the 15 minutes for observation.

Moderna. Getting the shot was fine. My arm hurt for about a week. On the first day I got a headache and became nauseous a few hours after getting the shot and I was fatigued for a few days after that.

They didn't have chairs for people who were waiting outside, so if standing for a long period of time is an issue it's better to come just a little before your appointment time.

Made appointment through vaccinehub.

Waited on a line outside for about 20 minutes, then inside for about 10 minutes where you waited in a large cafeteria with about 100 other people.

Was asked about covid symptoms and for appointment code, but not about eligibility.

Made the second appointment on their phone while being observed for 15 minutes after receiving the injection.

There were Spanish and Russian speaking workers present. People were friendly and to the point, some were excited and taking pictures in line.

5-7 police officers inside, one officer outside. EMTs inside too.

A few workers had masks under their nose. Social distancing was enforced in the line, however the gym was so crowded there were times people came closer than 6 feet.

Parking available nearby.

Felt achy and exhausted on day 2 after receiving the vaccine.

I made the appoint via this link: https://am-i-eligible.covid19vaccine.health.ny.gov/. I made my appointment on the first day the site was opened to all Brooklyn residents. I started the appointment process in the early morning at 8:15am. It was a smooth process and there were lots of options for appointment dates and times. The page where you select a day and time was a little bit hard to understand at first glance - the page makes it seem like the date and time listed at the top is the one and only option, but scrolling down reveals other options.

When I arrived I was greeted by a secuirty person who asked if I had an appointment. When I confirmed this she asked that I get my ID out and ready to show further in. I walked to the next person who had me wait while another person took my temperature with an electronic device. I was then asked to walk in to a table where I gave my ID to a person. I was asked to confirm my address and phone number. I then waited in my first line. It was 3 people long including me. When I entered the main gym space I was asked to follow a medical professional. She led me to large cubicle where another person was introduced as my intake person. I was made to show my ID again. I was then given the vaccine in my left arm. My second dose appointment was made and I was able to select the time I would like. I was given a vaccination record card, which also lists the date time of my next appointment on the back. I asked if I could leave and was told they couldn't make me stay. I opted to stay the 15 minutes to ensure I didn't have an adverse reaction. The intake person gave me a sticker listing the time I could leave. The site is staffed by US Air Force medical personnel wearing fatigues - this took me by surprise and made me feel a little uncomfortable at first. I didn't know how friendly of an environment it would be. However, the three women who helped me were super friendly and we were cracking jokes by the time I was done. The site was not at all crowded at this time. In fact, I was walking about by 7:30pm after arriving a little after 7pm. My appointment was scheduled for 7:30pm, but I arrived early to the site and was able to walk right in and be helped. No waiting at all.

The only document I was asked to provide was my NYS ID. I used my drivers license. I made my appointment because I had a qualifying co-morbidity. I also completed the vaccine pre-administration form online prior to my appointment.

All of my interactions with folks staffing the site were friendly and warm.

The site is in what looks like a gymnasium. There were maybe 15-20 other people there getting vaccinated. It was not crowded at all. There is security, mostly outside and in the space leading up to the entrance, which is tented. Inside the check-in, intake, and shot administration is all completed by US Air Force medical personnel.

Social distancing was enforced and masks were worn.

I was able to schedule my second shot on site.

Received Pfizer. I didn't feel anything while receiving the shot. I felt fine all evening and woke up the day after with slight soreness at the shot location on my left arm.

Made appointment through NYS vaccine portal.

There's a tent set up on top of the entrance. There's an enter sign, you are directed by a National Guard soldier and are asked to have your ID/proof of BK residency ready. The line was moderate, but never stopped moving for the most part so it felt very fast. I also showed up about 25mins early and they let me hop in the line anyway.

NYS ID, Proof of Brooklyn Residency if not provided on your ID (i brought a single piece of mail), no request for proof of comorbidity. CDMS document either on your phone or printed.

The National Guard soldiers were polite/nice/lighthearted, kept the line moving and seemed very very organized.

You're directed to a large hs/college gymnasium while waiting on line in the hallway of the school. In the gym all of the shots are happening on the sides and you are escorted there by a national guard person. the resting area is right in the middle with distanced chairs all about for people to sit in and wait for the 15mins before they may leave. Arrows on the floor to help guide people. This is a FEMA site (?) so there were national guard/security guards pretty much everywhere (including the folks who administered the vaccine). I did not see any police officers though.

Social distancing and masks were enforced. Temperature checks at the entrance. Red tape on the floor to mark out 6ft apart and staff was quick to remind people to keep distance

They scheduled the second appointment right then and there as they finished giving me my first dose. They wrote my follow up time/date directly on the back of my vaccine card too.

Received first dose of Pfizer. I feel fine. Sore arm like the flu shot. Maybe a little worse? Overall I'm feeling fine.

Made appointment on am-I-eligible. I would recommend you continue going back and click on the site multiple times as cancelations pop up to be able to get an appointment sooner.

The line seemed relatively long, but I was through it in like 15 mins. All the staff was extremely friendly and the whole experience was positive!

Checked ID for proof of address. Did not ask for proof of my eligibility and took me at my word, which surprised me.

It seemed like a gym? Quite large, lots of circulation. And all the seats for sitting for 15 mins after were distanced.

Masks were worn and social distancing was enforced.

They’re very strict that it must be exactly 21 days later at the exact same time—they even warn you not to schedule your first dose appointment if you know you won’t be available 21 days later.

Received first dose of Pfizer. Arm hurt a fair amount in the evening but other than that I’ve felt fine!

Made appointment through https://nycvaccinelist.com/.

Was 45 minutes early. Asked if I could get in line and they said yes.

Checked ID and CDMS registration ticket.

Selective Service run.100% efficient.

Line was short. Multiple sign-in tables. Large room with curtains set up around the perimeter where vaccines took place and then seats placed 6 ft apart where you would wait 15 minutes after receiving the shot.

Social distancing was enforced and masks were worn.

They wrote the date of your second appointment on the back of the CDC card they give you.

Received first dose of Pfizer. Just a tiny pinch in arm then done. No side effects.

I was scared but the whole experience at Medgar Evers was so great.

Appointments made through https://vaccinefinder.nyc.gov/. Originally no appointments available, but checked an hour later and there were multiple slots open (keep checking throughout the day/night).

Did not ask for proof of eligibility

Moderna vaccine

Might ask if you are pregnant or lactating

Music was playing to help cultivate a peaceful and celebratory environment :)

Lobby area did not feel like social distancing was supported

Waited 15 minutes for observation post vaccine

Second dose of Moderna.

Was directed to building T (instead of building B).

Waited on line outside for about 5 minutes before being brought into a hallway, where they waited on a different line and registered.

Did not check any documents for the second dose.

Brought into a larger lobby waiting area, where they waited about 45 minutes before receiving the injection (an hour after the scheduled appointment time).

Received vaccine in a large room with many others. Vaccines were distributed at stations with screens dividing them. Moved into a smaller, crowded room for observation for 15 minutes.

Social distancing was not enforced (many moments where people were much closer than 6 feet due to the crowd), everyone was wearing masks

Had worse side effects than the first dose - chills, fever, headache, body ache, fatigue. Took a Tylenol after 48 hours, and that helped immensely.

Prepare to take it easy for a few days after the second dose of Moderna if you are able.

Made an appointment through https://vaccinefinder.nyc.gov/ early in the morning for the same day.

451 Clarkson, Building B, 9th floor. The doors to Building B have a sign directing you to the main entrance of the hospital, but for those with vaccine appointments, you just enter at building B despite what the sign says.

Brought photo ID, insurance card, and proof of eligibility. Was not asked for proof.

Might ask if you are pregnant or lactating

Social distancing was lightly enforced. Waited inside a small room with about 15 others, and then in a hallway with chairs somewhat spaced out.

Everyone inside was masked, though a few pulled their masks down every now and then.

Appointment was made for 12:45, didn’t receive vaccine until close to 3pm.

Monitored for 15 minutes after receiving the vaccine in a room with others who are also being monitored.

Appointment for second shot was scheduled when you checked in.

One security guard present, no other police presence.

Received Moderna, and had side effects. Chills, slight fever, fatigue, headache, sore arm and redness at injection site. Side effects subsided within 72 hours.

Was notified by NYU and able to sign up via the patient portal.

Waiting time was not long upon arrival.

Filled out form online on the day of appointment. Received a confirmation e-mail, which they needed to show.

Everyone was masked and tried to stay socially distanced.

A security guard and staff were present and helpful with giving directions about where to go in the hospital.

Confirmed the second appointment via the patient portal later that day.

Received Pfizer - muscle/joint ache and fatigue the following day.

Must already be a patient at NYU to receive the vaccine there.

Made the appointment through Nyc vaccine. Easy to find and use site.

Line wrapped around the corner from the entrance, but the line moved very fast. I was in line at 11:45am and it the door at 12:20pm.

Checked drivers license. Had a doctor's note but he didn't look at it.

Everyone was super friendly, tons of volunteers directing traffic, very professional and efficient.

HS gym for shots and lines in the hallways while waiting. 15 minute wait period in a large room, well spaced. Bathroom multi-stall high school version but limited to one person at a time.

Social distancing was enforced and masks were worn.

Was able to schedule the second shot on site, but rescheduled the time online.

Received Moderna. Fine. No side effects first evening.

This location was a great option. Run like a well-oiled machine.

Made an appointment through https://vax4nyc.nyc.gov aside from waiting for slots, the process to schedule took moments/very fast and easy.

There was a line but they had lots of staff checking in curbside and it cleared extremely fast and efficiently. My check in attendant almost did not have time to finish the prescreen before I reached entry. I got in line at 11:45am and had been administered shot and finished my monitoring period by 12:08pm.

Just checked ID to verify NY resident. Having my QR code and pre-filling the pre-admin form before arriving made it very fast. They did not ask or check for any of my medical paperwork or insurance card, though I had all along with me just in case.

Everyone was very friendly, efficient, and gave clear directions. the site was extremely well staffed.

It was a high school and we moved through different rooms with one-way traffic flow. it was well laid out and clear and very good distancing. I did not see any law enforcement presence anywhere on site.

Scheduled second appointment on site. It was part of the "maze" to stop at a station to make the second appointment in the monitoring area. I received a card with info as well as a confirmation email right away.

Received Moderna, no side effects as of right now.

I was very pleased. It was easy to get to and accessible by lots of public transit options. In addition to efficiency, I felt very safe at location: they had paramedics on standby in the monitoring room and epipen very clearly displayed in the vaccine administering area.

I made it on turbovax. I was checking for available appointments in Brooklyn every hour at the top of the hour. Once I saw one, it was fairly easy to make it.

The door was locked so you had to knock. The line was very short, people from Capsule checked you in with very few volunteers. Wait time was under 10 minutes and then went to someone to confirm my documents.

They checked my ID (I had my California license and my NYCID). I am a teacher but they just checked my university ID card.

Everyone was very nice and in good spirit.

It was a high school gym. There were a few police officers and then people working for Capsule.

Everyone was masked and social distanced.

Was able to schedule second appointment on site, though they were only able to schedule us exactly three weeks from the date we were there, and three weeks from today is Passover so I am trying to reschedule my second dose.

Received first dose of Pfizer. So far, only soreness in my arm. The shot was completely painless and fast.

If it's locked, knock on the door. Someone will come get you. Everyone is nice and it's well organized.

Received first dose.

Made appointment through the NYC H+H website. They had opened up some appointments right when I happened to be checking. Pure luck.

Just 4-5 people ahead of me, but it was during a snowstorm.

Brought doctor's note for eligibility, ID, insurance, NYS attestation.

Everyone was very pleasant and kind.

Vaccination took place in a high school gym. Well organized and spread out. Not a lot of people but it was snowing a lot that day.

Everyone was wearing masks. While waiting to enter the gym, there was no social distancing and it was a narrow hallway. Once inside the gym, it was better.

A person came around with an ipad and made the appointment for the second dose.

Received Pfizer, very quick, no side effects.

There's a park across the street and benches if family members need to wait.

I made the appointment online. But the website scheduled my second appointment for a different Walgreens that is far away from me.

One person was on line ahead of me. Everything went well.

Only the Walgreens online medical form was checked.

One person was waiting for a shot. Two people were waiting for prescriptions.

Social distancing was enforced and masks were worn.

Received first dose of Moderna. Painless. Sore arm.

It was a perfect experience.

Received the first dose.

Made the appointment on the Walgreens website. Wanted to schedule both doses for the Walgreens at 114 Beverley Road because it is within walking distance,, but the website made the second appointment for 1419 Newkirk Avenue without asking. That is too far to walk to. The website would not let me reschedule the second appointment for Beverley Road, so I called both pharmacies to ask about rescheduling, and they said they could not help me. I went back to the website today to try again to reschedule, but it says that no appointments are available within 25 miles of my zip code.

Only two people were ahead of me.

Brought the filled-out VAR. Was not asked for any other documents. I am a previous customer there, so my personal information would already be in their computer.

Small store with about two dozen customers scattered throughout the store.

Social distancing was enforced and everybody was wearing a mask.

Received Moderna. Getting the shot was painless. In the evening, arm felt sore at the injection site, so I moved my arm around and I applied a cold, wet washcloth. That helped.

Scheduled second dose on the Walgreens website.

Three people were ahead of me for the shot. Four people were waiting for prescriptions.

Everybody was helpful and friendly.

The pharmacy area is small.

The place was so small, social distancing was not possible, but masks were worn.

Received second dose of Moderna. Painless. Side effects: fever, achy, sluggish.

A friend told me that there are appointments available at a South Brooklyn location the next day. She provided me with a login for the website which was a DOH portal. They were only about 50% full so there were plenty of appointments to choose from.

There was no line. It was very well organized with signage and people directing you. I was done in no time. Everyone was very friendly.

My eligibility was employment so when they asked for proof I showed my work ID badge. They asked me a couple more questions about my position but didn't ask for further documentation. I think they were just making conversation.

All the nurses and workers were super friendly and excited to get people vaccinated.

It seemed like a large wedding venue with marble floors and chandeliers. Very fancy! No law enforcement presence. Big parking lot. When you walk in, there are two check-in tables on the left who check your consent forms. Then they direct you to a large hall with tables set up kind of like a job fair. That's where they do intake. Then they send you to get the vaccine, then to another hall with chairs for observation. There is tons of signage and people directing you at all times.

Everyone wore masks and social distanced.

They automatically schedule you for the same time at the same location in 30 days.

Received Moderna. It was really fast. It’s been 3 hours, so far, so good.

The location and staff are excellent, just be mindful that they ask for proof of eligibility.

Received second dose of Pfizer.

No line outside. Short line inside.

Drivers license, NYS form from online were checked.

Everyone was nice, professional, efficient - site is run by national guard.

Huge spaces with small desks to do paperwork, other huge space with small tables for shots, all run by national guard who seemed equally polite and attentive to all.

Masks required, distancing everywhere.

I had both shots at Javitz, after first they gave me a card & said return anytime on the day 3 weeks ahead.

Small headache after first, tired and achy arm after 2nd.

Scheduled appointment online at the NYS scheduling site.

Check in and medical verification and line were all very efficient. I was there for an hour all together, including the 15-minute wait after the shot.

ID, insurance card, appointment confirmation were checked.

The National Guard organized this site and it was a marvel of efficiency and courtesy. I've never seen anything like it in NYC.

Jacob Javits Center is huge. National Guard soldiers were organizing the whole effort. I don't remember seeing any NYPD officers.

Social distancing was enforced and masks were worn.

They gave me the date and time to return for the second shot on the card I received at the first, and I also got an email the next day.

Received Pfizer. Sore arm and slightly feverish/tired that day. The next day, arm soreness but otherwise great.

Received second dose of pfizer.

Well organized. Large venue. National Guard directed foot traffic and I saw that they were assisting people with accessibility issues (wheelchairs, canes).

Line was a less than 10 people long. Moved quickly.

Insurance card, ID, appointment letter were checked.

Interactions with others were pleasant.

Social distancing was enforced and people were wearing masks.

Left the first appointment with a scheduled appointment for the second.

First dose: no reaction. Second dose: fatigue, tenderness on arm vaccination site.

Parking lot on 34th and West Side Highway. $10 for 2 hours.

Was able to get an appointment on the NYState site after 6 hours of trying.

Arrived 45 minutes early. There was no line, and were taken in right away.

Checked ID and insurance.

Everyone was very professional and welcoming.

Huge area with many National Guard personnel standing by to help. Registration went smoothly. Received the vaccine at a private table from a nurse.

Social distancing was enforced, tables were spaced far apart, and everyone was wearing a mask.

Received Pfizer - had a sore arm for one day, but no other side effects.

Would highly recommend this NYS site. Very organized and had no waiting on any lines.

Made an appointment through alert on TurboVax, linking to HHC website.

Huge line of people waiting for first and second doses in a hallway lined with chairs. Wait time was over 2 hours.

Brought work ID, paystub to show eligibility.

Staff was pleasant enough but slightly overwhelmed. Did not give us updates on wait time.

Stuffy hospital hallway lined with chairs, and some people at the end of the line had to stand. No law enforcement presence.

Everyone was wearing masks. Social distancing was not enforced but mostly followed.

They immediately scheduled the second dose.

Received Pfizer. Felt no pain and only side effect was soreness for 2 days since it is intramuscular shot.

Wouldn't recommend Metropolitan Hospital due to the wait time.

Made an appointment through MyChart (Mt. Sinai patient portal).

Screened for temperature, went to the third floor and joined a line. Filled out NYS eligibility form while on line (on my phone, tablets were available).

ID, insurance card and work ID were scanned.

Employee instructed me to fill out form on initial line, employee at desk checked IDs, nurse at mobile desk checked you in for appointment. After shot, checked with an employee to begin observation and then at a mobile desk to make 2nd appointment

3rd floor of a hospital, lines in hallways were all properly spaced - maybe 30 people on line. Hospital security was present and kept the line moving

Everyone was wearing masks, some employees were also wearing face shields. Social distancing markers were on the floor throughout the wing.

Second shot was scheduled before observation. They gave me a list of possible dates and times.

Received first dose of pfizer - didn't even feel the shot at the time. Some aches/headache afterwards.

Arrive early regardless of your appointment time. I arrived a half hour early for a 9am appointment and waited an hour before receiving the shot.

Arrived early and was seen before scheduled time. Made the second appointment before leaving the clinic.

Checked ID and filled out a certificate of attestation on ipad.

No law enforcement present. Interactions with staff and others were pleasant.

Socially distancing was enforced and masks were worn.

Received Pfizer. Was tired and arm was sore after.

Made an appointment on the Walgreens site. I tried calling the Walgreens appt number and was disconnected five times.

Had a 4:45 appointment. Very pleasant, very quick, sufficient space to sit/wait, lovely nurse. Present when I arrived a half hour early were the next two appts and me. No line.

Checked ID, insurance card, vax form which I'd filled out ahead of time. They gave me a few additional forms to fill out.

It was a Walgreens, normal size/number of customers.

Everyone was wearing masks, not so many people that social distancing was a concern.

My second shot was automatically scheduled at the time I scheduled my first.

Received first dose of Pfizer, easy shot, no side effects.

Made appointment through affiliated Physicians website, it was one of the only times any appointments came available on that site, in the 2nd or third week of February (maybe 8-10 days ahead of the appointment), mid-evening seemed like the best time to search.

I arrived 5:20a for a 6:30a appointment since there was parking at 7a meters, there were 1-2 people ahead of me but it was generally great. they were professional, answered any questions, the observation area seemed like a small classroom or chapel and was well managed, very professional.

Checked my driver's license and forms including self-certification.

Professional, there was a baggage check at entrance (like in an airport), I left a razor scooter downstairs the entire 40-45 minutes and no one took it, I left at 6:05a when it was getting light.

Big city building, dozens of people in the building but lots of space, just me in the elevator at that hour, 2 cops outside the building, a few people at the entrance/bag check, maybe 8-10 tables at intake, well spaced out, not fully manned, small cubicles where i got the vaccine, well insulated, i didn't feel at risk, and then an observation area where they spaced us out fairly well for 15 minutes. very well run.

Social distancing was enforced and masks were worn.

They told me to come back at the same time/place in 4 weeks and gave me a card. They forgot to write the time down so I plan to, and am waiting for the email confirmation. If i don't get it 7 days before the next appointment i was told to contact affiliated physicians.

Received first dose of moderna. Getting it barely hurt. My arm hurt for 48 hours. Had some chills day 1. Conked out a bit the first 2 days, naps, slept extra.

I had the best luck with the NYC H&H site, 2nd best with FEMA, Affiliated Physicians and this appointment seemed like a fluke, i couldn't replicate it; best site i found is https://vax4nyc.nyc.gov/patient/s/vaccination-schedule.

Made an appointment through vaccinepod.nyc after a few dozen appointments opened up.

Waited on a line outside. Received vaccine within 40 minutes.

Checked the QR code (appointment confirmation) as well as the green check mark stating you had filled out the New York State vaccine form ensuring your eligibility. They would not let people in until they had proof they filled out the NYS form.

Tried to get people in quickly and everyone was nice.

Vaccine took place in a cafeteria.

There were NYPD officers in the hallway on the way to the cafeteria.

Social Distancing was enforced. Masks were worn.

Scheduled the second shot on their phone while they waited for the 15 minute observation post vaccine. Other people had to wait a few minutes because the system was down, and then workers came round to help people schedule their second vaccine.

Received moderna - injection was less painful than a flu shot, only side effect was a sore arm.

There is parking across the street for the Baisley Pond Park, otherwise it was street parking. The streets on the side of the entrance for vaccines were very full, and there were cop cars there yelling at cars to keep going. Suggest parking on the west side of the school, for the regular main entrance.

Scheduled appointment through Vaccinepod.nyc.gov.

Entered on Rockaway Boulevard, closer to 103rd. Go upstairs, have temp taken.

Have your appointment ID ready so you can be checked in. Wait in classroom with 6-10 other people. Wait takes about 15 minutes.

Did not ask for eligibility other than ID.

Filled out survey sent via e-mail the morning of the appointment.

John Adams is run by members of FDNY. NYPD is stationed outside. FDNY was pleasant (though some members were not properly wearing masks).

Waited in a gym with about 15 people after vaccination for observation, all spread quite far apart.

Social distancing was enforced in waiting areas, not as much in hallways for check in. Mask wearing in the hallway was about 97% compliance. Everyone in classrooms, gym wearing proper ppe.

Was given a time frame for the second shot, and told to schedule it for some time during those dates via vaccinepod.nyc.gov. They were unable to schedule that day. New slots appeared the next evening and was able to sign up then.

Received Moderna. Injection did not hurt. Fatigued for one day, sore arm for 2.

Make sure wherever you schedule your second appointment is offering the same vaccine as the one you received for your first dose.

A friend scheduled the appointment for their first dose.

Arrived 45 minutes early. The vaccine (Pfizer) arrived late (possibly due to snow) and then waited an additional 30 minutes for the vaccine to thaw before they could administer it.

Checked ID after locating file on the line.

Were seated in a gymnasium, chairs were socially distanced. Someone would enter the gymnasium and call numbers and when your number was called you were taken into another room to receive the vaccine. There were individual separated cubicles for each person receiving vaccines. Then there were chairs for you to sit in to wait 15 minutes after your vaccination. Most people were respectful of distancing, however, there was a person representing an insurance company that was walking around the room handing out pens and other stuff and getting very close to everyone...and going from person to person. It was very shocking actually.

There was no law enforcement present that I observed. The gymnasium had about 30 people in it, all spaced six feet apart.

The second vaccine was scheduled as you entered the room to receive our first vaccine.

Injection was painless, 9 hours later no side effects.

Scheduled appointment through https://somosvaccination.mdland.com/p/covid. Recommended using Somos if you are a city worker.

There was no line, it took 5 minutes.

Checked school ID and insurance card.

Large space, few people present, those who were there were friendly.

Social distancing was enforced.

They were called to set up the second appointment.

Received Moderna.

The line was not long, went by scheduled appointment time.

Only checked ID.

Interactions with workers and others in line were pleasant.

Received vaccine in High School cafeteria. Lines were marked to enforce social distancing. People were masked.

Was e-mailed a link to schedule the second appointment.

Received Moderna, sore arm post vaccination.
