Other services and opportunities include:

• Nutritious breakfasts and lunches at no cost to families

¿CÓMO PUEDO APRENDER MÁS?

¿DÓNDE SE REGISTRARÁ LA INFORMACIÓN DE MI VACUNACIÓN?

¿QUÉ ES EL PROGRAMA DE COMPENSACIÓN POR LESIONES DE CONTRAMEDIDAS?

general, se debe presentar una reclamación al CICP dentro de un (1) año a partir de la fecha de recibir la vacuna. Para obtener más información sobre este programa, visite www.hrsa.gov/cicp/ o llame al 1-855-266-2427.

¿QUÉ ES UNA AUTORIZACIÓN DE USO DE EMERGENCIA (EUA)?

La FDA de los Estados Unidos ha puesto a disposición la vacuna contra el COVID-19 de Pfizer BioNTech bajo un mecanismo de acceso de emergencia llamado una EUA. La EUA está respaldada por una declaración del Secretario de Salud y Servicios Humanos (HHS, por sus siglas en inglés) en la que se afirma que existen circunstancias que justifican el uso de emergencia de medicamentos y productos biológicos durante la pandemia del COVID-19.

La vacuna contra el COVID-19 de Pfizer BioNTech no ha sido sometida al mismo tipo de revisión que un producto aprobado o autorizado por la FDA. La FDA puede emitir una EUA cuando se cumplen ciertos criterios, incluyendo que no hay alternativas adecuadas, aprobadas y disponibles. Además, la decisión de la FDA se basa en la totalidad de las pruebas científicas disponibles que demuestran que el producto puede ser eficaz para prevenir la pandemia del COVID-19 y que los beneficios conocidos y potenciales del producto superan los riesgos conocidos y potenciales del mismo.

Todos estos criterios deben cumplirse para permitir que el producto se utilice en el tratamiento de pacientes durante la pandemia del COVID-19.

La EUA para la vacuna contra el COVID-19 de Pfizer BioNTech está en vigor mientras dure la declaración de la EUA para el COVID-19 que justifica el uso de emergencia de estos productos, a menos que se termine o se revoque (después de lo cual los productos ya no podrán utilizarse).

Albany Mayor Kathy Sheehan said, “We are so proud to once again host our nationally-recognized, award-winning Summer Youth Employment Program. The data is clear: this program helps improve high school graduation rates for our youngest residents, and prepares them for the next phase of the careers – whether that’s joining the workforce, learning a trade, or going to college.”

“We are thankful that Mayor Sheehan has made it possible for us to offer this essential program in this difficult year,” said Commissioner Jonathan Jones. “The health and safety of our communities remains our top priority and we will continue to take all appropriate measures to help keep our youth, families and staff safe.”

The goals of the program are to:

  • Provide earned income to Albany youth
  • Introduce and prepare youth for the world of work
  • Expose our youth to the various businesses and sectors locally
  • Learn transferable skills and habits from leaders in the industry
  • Provide youth voice and added value to local businesses on special projects and day-to-day functions
  • Create a network of professionals and caring adults for Albany’s youth.

Vacations and time-off will not be permitted for youth employees. Youth who have been assigned summer school must ensure that their job does not conflict with their instruction and study time.

Enrichment Fridays are professional development days that will again be incorporated into the SYEP programming on July 16th, July 23rd, July 30th, and August 6th. This year, enrichment is being administered on 100% virtual platform and covers the topics that will ensure participants success in the future.

Topics that are covered include:

  • Planning for after High School & Post-Secondary options exploring,
  • Wellness, Financial Literacy and Education, and
  • Career Explorations.

Participants will have the opportunity to participate in workshops with different organizations and professionals.

We are seeking individuals that are passionate about helping our young people reach their full potential and would like to facilitate a workshop with our youth employees this summer. Reach out to Diamond Quiles, Enrichment Coordinator for more information.

Vaccine Update: Scheduling Now Open at New NYS/FEMA Vaccination Site in Albany

By albanyhousing | Published: February 25, 2021

New York State and FEMA are bringing a vaccination site to Albany!

As of today, eligible New Yorkers who live in qualifying ZIP codes in Albany, Schenectady or Troy can schedule an appointment to get vaccinated at a new mass vaccination site at the Washington Avenue Armory, 195 Washington Avenue, Albany, NY 12210.

The site is initially reserved for eligible Albany, Schenectady or Troy residents who live in the following ZIP codes: 12202, 12206, 12210, 12209, 12207, 12222, 12180, 12307, 12308, 12305, 12304. After a week, it will open to all eligible residents in the county or target region.

The Washington Avenue Armory vaccination site will be open to those with appointments beginning Wednesday, March 3, and will be able to handle 1,000 appointments a day, 7 days a week. You must have an appointment to get vaccinated. If you show up without an appointment, you will not get the vaccine.

Help us get the word out! Even if you’re not yet eligible for the vaccine, please share this information with friends, family or neighbors.

How to make an appointment

There are two ways to register for an appointment: by phone or online.

Scheduling by Phone:

To make an appointment by phone, call the NYS COVID-19 Vaccine Hotline at 1-833-697-4829 (the hotline is open from 7am to 10pm, 7 days a week). They will ask you some questions to confirm you are eligible for the vaccine, and then work with you to schedule an appointment at a time that is convenient. You can tell the call center agent you want to get an appointment at the Washington Avenue Armory in Albany.

Online Scheduling: 

To register online, use the Am I Eligible tool at am-i-eligible.covid19vaccine.health.ny.gov.

On the Am I Eligible tool, fill out your information. If you are eligible, you will see locations where you can schedule a vaccine appointment listed out by proximity to your address. Select the Washington Avenue Armory and complete the process on the online scheduling system until your appointment is confirmed.

Eligibility:

About ten million New Yorkers are currently eligible for the vaccine, but not everyone is. Eligible groups include people age 65 and older, those with qualifying health conditions (for example, cancer, diabetes, heart disease and pregnancy), health care workers, teachers, and other groups of essential workers. If you’re unsure if you’re eligible for the vaccine, you can easily check here or by calling the Vaccine Hotline at 1-833-697-4829.

If you’re eligible and successfully schedule an appointment, follow the step-by-step guide that you can find on ny.gov/vaccine to learn what you need to bring with you and other important information.

Get the word out! Share this important information with friends, family or neighbors. 

The COVID vaccine is safe, effective and free. We encourage all New Yorkers to get the vaccine as soon as it’s available to them. If you have any questions about the COVID vaccine, visit ny.gov/vaccine or talk to your doctor.
