Receive $100 Gift Card for First Vaccination
The New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) and the Fund for Public Health NYC (FPHNY) are partnering with Ryan Health | Frederick Douglass to increase access to COVID -19 vaccinations and primary care in Harlem. COVID-19 had a devastating impact on Harlem residents, and affected residents with chronic conditions, such as hypertension and diabetes, even more. The partnership’s goal is to increase access to both primary care services to manage chronic conditions and COVID-19 vaccine to protect against infection.
COVID-19 vaccines are being offered at Ryan Health | Frederick Douglass (located at 2381 Frederick Douglass Boulevard) both by appointment and on a walk-in basis, no insurance necessary, and there is no cost to you.
How Do I Qualify for a $100 Gift Card
Individuals who receive their first vaccination through the program will be eligible for a $100 pre-paid debit card that they will receive directly from the City.
