Westchester To Help Seniors Navigate Vaccine Appointment Process

WHITE PLAINS, NY — There's a lot of confusion about where people can get the coronavirus vaccine, due in part to the fact that the doses are in short supply.

To that end, Westchester County's Department of Seniors Programs & Services will be helping seniors navigate the vaccine appointment process.

County Executive George Latimer said the department stands ready and able to assist the aging population so they can feel comfortable getting through the process of vaccination.

"As we have been since day one of this crisis," he said, "county government has an all hands on deck approach to help Westchester through this unprecedented pandemic."

The department has an information and assistance phone line that is available to help Westchester's seniors from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. weekdays at 914-813-6300.

Staff will help seniors and senior caregivers access and obtain vaccine appointments. However, if there are no appointments available on the state system due to the lack of vaccine doses then the county cannot find a vaccine for you.
