Personal Assistants and COVID-19 Vaccines

/
Consumer directed personal assistance - self-directed home care for people with disabilities

CDPAP Personal Assistants are now eligible to get the COVID-19 vaccine!

NCCI has provided all CDPAP Personal Assistants with a letter that verifies they are eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine right away. To prove they are eligible, they may be required to produce:

1) The verification letter

2) Your most recent pay stub

3) A photo ID.

Different vaccination sites and providers could handle this differently, so it is best to be prepared with all three items if you can. To find out where to get the vaccine, Personal Assistants can use one of these two approaches:

1. ONLINE PRE-SCREENING AND SCHEDULING

To use a state pre-screening tool, go to: https://am-i-eligible.covid19vaccine.health.ny.gov/Public/prescreener
