Last week we shared news from Governor Phil Murphy about an expansion of eligibility for the COVID-19 vaccine. (Repeated below in brief) If you are eligible to receive the vaccine, there are generally three ways to get vaccinated:
“Mercer County will open a vaccination site starting Thursday, Jan. 21 at CURE Arena, in partnership with Capital Health System. Mercer County receives vaccine doses from the State Department of Health, and there are an extremely limited number of doses made available to Mercer County. This is of no fault of the County or the State, as the supply comes directly from the Federal Government. In order to receive your vaccine from Mercer County, you must first register into the state system. You will be notified when an appointment becomes available. The State also reports that it will open a call center the week of Jan. 25 to answer your questions.”
Mercer County Vaccine Update Jan. 20, 2021
As per the January 14th directive, vaccines are now available to the following groups:
Full eligibility details are available from Who is eligible for vaccination in New Jersey? Who is included in the vaccination phases? on the NJ State COVID-19 Information Hub.
If you don't qualify for a vaccine at this time, register on the NJ Vaccine Scheduling System and they will notify you when the vaccine is available for you.
