But some key takeaways, starting with a really really big one: The complete q-and-a follows this article.

Walgreen covid vaccine appointment license#
A Queens restaurant worker was denied his vaccine today at a pop-up clinic in Long Island City, despite having an IDNYC card, because the site wanted a license or other proof of New York State residency he also had proof of employment.Įpicenter, which has registered thousands of people for vaccine appointments, has encountered these complaints regularly. At a pop-up at an independent pharmacy in Brooklyn on Sunday, four people were denied vaccines because they did not have required paperwork two returned home to Queens and two waited till the end of the day and received leftover doses. There also have been multiple reports of doctors’ notes requested at pharmacies even though New York State has repeatedly said self-attestation for an underlying illness is enough. On March 21, a man with a comorbidity reported being denied a vaccine because the pharmacy said it was only serving those 60+ or in childcare or education.Īnother said she was asked for insurance, even though neither insurance nor immigration status is required for a vaccine.

(We helped him find another appointment, closer to home.) He canceled because he does not have a car and could not get to Brooklyn.

We cut and paste below what he received from the Walgreens site upon registration:

This 78-year-old Woodside, Queens man wanted a vaccine.
