COVID-19 VACCINE – What NJ Residents Need to Know

COVID-19 VACCINE Information

We are over a year into this pandemic but we now have a light at the end of the tunnel. We have 3 safe and effective vaccines approved in the U.S.  Almost everyone should be getting vaccinated when it is your turn.  If you have specific questions about the vaccine or if you should get it, please contact your doctor to discuss.  The vaccine is free to everyone regardless of insurance or immigration status. The bigger question now is how to get the vaccine scheduled.  This is a summary of all the places and websites with special emphasis on help for seniors over 65 finding it hard to find a vaccine or difficulty navigating the internet/computer.
