PLEASE NOTE:

We provide rapid molecular COVID-19 testing (Nucleic Acid Amplification Testing), results in approximately one hour and PCR testing, results usually in 1-2 days.

Due to multiple new restrictions put in place by NYS, we will not be administering COVID-19 vaccinations at our office at this time.

Beginning February 15th, people with chronic diseases are eligible for the COVID vaccine. Click here to see if you are or soon will be eligible for the vaccine.

For patients with CHRONIC ILLNESSES: A doctor’s note is NOT REQUIRED for a COVID vaccine, as per NYS guidance. You will need to sign a certification that you have a qualifying disease or bring other proof of disease (prescription, medical record, test result). For the NYC Certification of Eligibility for COVID-19 Vaccine, please click here, then sign, date, and bring it with you to the test site. Locations outside of NYC should have their own forms for you to sign prior to receiving the vaccine. For locations outside of NYS, please check directly with the vaccine site.

Pfizer vaccines need to be 21 days apart and Moderna vaccines need to be 28 days apart. You should avoid mixing vaccines in the 2-dose series. The time between shot #1 and #2 can be several days longer, but it cannot be more than 4 day shorter. Try to get the vaccines as close to the recommended number of days as possible.
