East Windsor Township Update on Coronavirus (COVID-19)

February 25, 2021
 
CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) UPDATES
EAST WINDSOR TOWNSHIP
 
COVID-19 VACCINATION INFORMATION
Currently, the quantity of available vaccines from the Federal government and through the State and County government, while slowly increasing, remains insufficient to meet the demands for individuals currently eligible and wishing to receive the vaccine. On top of insufficient supply, the nationwide and state severe weather conditions have created disruptions in supply transport. Due to insufficient vaccine supply availability, patience and understanding is cautioned as demand continues to far exceed the Federal government's allocations to the State and County. Due to the recent winter weather, vaccination sites in New Jersey are rescheduling appointments missed because of adverse weather conditions and delayed shipments of vaccines. State officials have stated that any cancelled appointments due to supply issues or weather will be rescheduled as soon as possible. The Township will continue to keep you informed of up to date information concerning the availability and accessibility to vaccines and updated vaccination locations.
 
Anyone seeking a COVID-19 vaccine is strongly encouraged to register with the New Jersey Vaccine Scheduling System (NJVSS): https://covidvaccine.nj.gov/ If you experience an error or need help registering with the NJVSS, you can complete an online form: https://covid19.nj.gov/forms/vaccine/vss-feedback or call toll-free (855) 568-0545. You will be notified when it is time for you to schedule an appointment. For State information about COVID-19 vaccine eligibility and phasing priority: https://covid19.nj.gov/pages/vaccine
