It was not clearly mentioned on my previous post but 

- Visited one of city mass vaccination site. "museum"

- I have foreign passport only.

- They checked my passport to ensure my name matches with their record since I've pre-booked and it needs to be written on the certificate.

- Compared to other person's stories, who is visiting pharmacies, seems to get a lot of medical questions asked but I'm personally got relieved since those are my concerned points.

- My 2nd dose is planned on-site, same place, in 21 days. 

- The site has both pfizer and moderna, but pfizer looked 3x-5x popular there.

"No question asked" is not a true. I of course got a lot of medical and condition questions asked and you have to be fluent English speaker to answer - probably you want to pre-read the papers carefully - medical words are not daily vocabulary for me too.

One interesting question I had was - whether I got any type of covid vaccination shots before. That's sounds crazy to have duplicate shots but there seems to be the cases before.

I'm in the downtown NYC now where I know the neighbourhood well (and will be for another 3 weeks for summer vacation and for another shots, just myself). Everything went well so far as planned and as I read here, I was able to meet "the whale"[*]again with Pfizer shot provided to me. Thank you for the all sharings. Feel free to ask me any question too if you're concerned/planned. Now I am looking for great Thai food here. Probably off topic for the thread tho...

Thank you for the all tips. I have an access to US network and able to complete the pre-requisite process for coming weekend.

Hopefully everything works well. Uncertainty arises is whether CDC proof will work for future travels, esp if you're not departing from US. "Vaccine passport" thing is still under discussion and vary by country and country.

This topic looks interested as I'm going to do same and wondering what's the criteria for pfizer dose in n,y. J&J seems to be widely offered but also saw the posts saying that we only have to prove age by showing identity, including foreign passport. Is anyone aware of process difference between those who want to get J&J ones vs pfizer ones?
