New Jersey’s COVID-19 Vaccine Process

New Jersey will roll out COVID-19 vaccines in a phased approach to all adults who live, work, or are being educated in the State. Within six months, New Jersey plans to vaccinate 70 percent of the adult population.

New Jersey entered a state of emergency on Sunday, January 31, 2021, at 7 pm in response to the winter storm. Snow accumulation for the storm began as of Sunday afternoon, with the heaviest snow expected to fall during the day on Monday, and hazardous conditions may continue through Tuesday morning.

Due to the storm, most, if not all, vaccine sites were expected to be closed on Monday, February 1st. Depending on the extent of the storm, operations of vaccine sites on Tuesday may also be disrupted.

If you had an appointment for a first or second dose on Monday, February 1st, that appointment will be rescheduled.

If you made an appointment for Monday, February 1st through the New Jersey Vaccine Scheduling System, you should have received a cancellation notice on Sunday, January 31st. Look for, a notice of your rescheduled appointment by the end of the week.

If you made your appointment through another system, rescheduling should take place through that same system.
