No Centralized New York Covid Vaccine Appointment Website
First you need to know that the scheduling system for Covid vaccines in New York is not centralized. Meaning, there is no one centralized website for you to go to for making Covid vaccine appointments in New York. In order to make your Covid vaccine appointment in New York, you need to go on many different websites to book your Coronavirus vaccine shot. You can make your Covid vaccine appointment directly at the New York state run Covid vaccine website or make an appointment directly at one of the New York Healthcare Covid vaccine websites or make an appointment directly at one of the New York pharmacy websites. In addition, if you live in New York City or work in New York City, there are two NYC Covid vaccine website hubs to schedule appointments in vaccination centers in NYC. With so many vaccine websites to keep track of, booking a Covid vaccine appointment can quickly become overwhelming and frustrating. In this article, you will find a list of links to various New York Covid vaccine websites. But before you start trying to schedule your Covid vaccine, I want to let you in on a secret on how to quickly schedule your Covid vaccination in New York without wasting a lot of time refreshing or checking the various Covid Vaccine websites for appointment availabilities. The trick is to take advantage of the New York Covid vaccine scheduling bots.
New York Covid Vaccine Bots

Available Covid vaccine appointments are then posted on their websites. This saves you a lot of time and frustration as you book your Covid vaccine. Instead of manually checking different Covid vaccine websites to find available Covid vaccine appointments, these Covid vaccine bots will do the checking for you to find out where the available Covid vaccine appointments are. Turbovax is a website that checks for appointments in the 53 city and state-run vaccine sites in the NYC area. It is a free service, created by Huge Ma, a software engineer frustrated with the New York Covid vaccine appointment process. NYC Vaccine List is another free website created by a group of volunteers to check for available Covid vaccine appointments in the government, healthcare and pharmacy websites.
