STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. New York City’s Health + Hospital’s Vanderbilt clinic will be the borough’s first COVID-19 vaccination hub and will begin taking appointments as soon as Wednesday.
No further details about the Vanderbilt hub, such as hours of operation, have been announced.
Borough President James Oddo, who had a conversation with the city on Tuesday, said his understanding is the Vanderbilt hub will be for frontline medical staff who are not a part of a hospital system and see patients daily, such as dentists, physical therapists and urgent care workers.
