Yonkers Insider: Report from Town of Greenburgh: NY Health dept Covid vaccine phone help line: 1-888-364-3065-- updates on covid vaccine.

Have any questions about COVID? Have friends who are seniors who don't have computers and can't register for a covid vaccine on line? Encourage them to call 1 -888- 364- 3065. I just tried calling to see if I'd be put on hold for hours and was pleasantly surprised: only a few minutes wait. The State Department of Health also has a general phone number: at 1-866-881-2809. You can also email questions to dohweb@health.ny.gov. Some seniors, especially the very frail elderly and disabled, may need assistance completing the on line form or even scheduling appointments by phone. I plan to ask the Greenburgh senior programming staff to provide assistance to those who need extra help. We want our seniors not to be stressed by the process. If you know anyone (could be yourself) who needs help please e mail me at pfeiner@greenburghny.com with a phone number. Please note that the town does not administer the vaccinations.
