NJDOH Announces Mega Sites To Support Statewide COVID-19 Vaccine Planning Effort
A Message from the NJDA
Although dentists and their staffs are included in the first phase of vaccination eligibility, currently, there is no reliable information regarding when, where and in what order or sequence the vaccine will be available. As soon as that information is announced by the
New Jersey Department of Health or the Governor it will be communicated via Email Alerts to the NJDA membership
NJDOH Announces Mega Sites To Support Statewide COVID-19 Vaccine Planning Effort
Six mega sites throughout New Jersey will serve as vaccination hubs for phased priority groups, part of a critical network of over 200 sites tasked with carrying out the state’s COVID-19 vaccination plan fairly and equitably. The state-coordinated sites are expected to begin opening in early January and will immediately be in position to vaccinate front-line healthcare workers and then continue in a phased approach depending on the supply of vaccine to New Jersey. After these phases are complete, then the general public will be eligible for vaccination. The timing of the progression among the groups depends on the supply of vaccine to the state. “Building out a core infrastructure of vaccination sites is a critical component of our strategic and efficient deployment of a COVID-19 vaccine and is a key element of New Jersey’s recovery,” said Governor Murphy. “These statewide sites will be in position to vaccinate front line healthcare workers who are part of the 1a category and will continue for each successive group of New Jerseyans that becomes eligible for vaccination.”
The sites include:
- Atlantic County: Atlantic City Convention Center
- Bergen County: Racetrack at Meadowlands, East Rutherford
- Burlington County: Moorestown Mall
- Gloucester County: Rowan College of South Jersey, Sewell
- Middlesex County: New Jersey Convention and Exposition Center, Edison
- Morris County: Rockaway Townsquare
