About the NYC Vaccination HUB

The primary roles of the State’s vaccination program hubs are to help develop and support networks that offer broad-based vaccinations, and to assist with community education and vaccine inquiries, all with a focus on promoting health equity. For more information on the New York State Regional Hub Network, please read New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s December 2020 press release.

GNYHA is the Vaccination Program Coordination Hub for NYC. The State asked GNYHA to perform this role because of its longstanding commitment to and participation in NYC’s emergency preparedness and response system, as well as GNYHA’s strong affiliation with the City’s health care system at large.

As the NYC Vaccine Hub Lead, GNYHA works closely with the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene on their COVID-19 vaccination plans, as well as with the New York City Vaccine Command Center and other City agencies. GNYHA troubleshoots on behalf of enrolled vaccinators, facilitates vaccine redistribution requests, and communicates important information to enrolled vaccinators and the general public.
