In another effort to beat back the
coronavirus pandemic, Mayor Eric
Adams announced that at-home tests
would be available for pick up starting
Monday at New York City cultural
sites including public libraries and
also reinstated the $100 vaccine initiative
continuing to the end of the
month.
At-home tests are available for
pickup at 14 cultural sites across the
Five Boroughs such as the American
Museum of Natural History as well
as participating New York public libraries.
A full list of locations can be
found at the NYC Health and Hospitals
website.
In addition to the new at-home
testing pick up locations, Mayor Adams
announced the return of the $100
vaccine incentive which ends Feb. 28.
Anyone receiving their fi rst vaccine
or booster is eligible for the $100 gift
card which will be available at all
city-run COVID vaccination locations

as well as SOMOS community care
sites.
“Vaccination and boosters, that
is our most potent weapon against a
virus that is really a formidable opponent,”
said Adams during a press conference
Monday. “It shifts, it changes,
it comes out with new variants and it
is crucial that people are vaccinated
and boosted.”
The gift cards are available to New
Yorkers until the end of the month
and will be available for use until
they expire March 31.
To bolster the city’s economy, the
mayor is encouraging individuals
who receive the gift cards to use them
at small businesses to help them rebound
and rebuild after being hard
hit by the pandemic.
Supporting small and local businesses
will help keep the economy
af loat, but will also serve to encourage
businesses to hire more
individuals and expand upon their
services
