MORRIS COUNTY, NJ — If you're frustrated trying to figure out where and when you can get the coronavirus vaccine in New Jersey, you're not alone.
State officials have wrestled with short supply, daily glitches and crashes in its COVID-19 vaccination system and confusion about how to secure appointments.
Here's some information on securing an appointment in New Jersey.
Who's Eligible?
The Food and Drug Administration authorized the emergency use of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine for people 16 and older, while the Moderna vaccine is recommended for people 18 and older.
Where to Get Vaccinated
Eligible patients can preregister through the state for an appointment. The process may not immediately give you an appointment date but will put you on a list to alert you when an appointment becomes available.
Here's a map that will show vaccination sites near you.
Those who work or volunteer at select health care facilities can make an appointment through their place of work. Veterans who receive care from Veterans Affairs health facilities or live in VA long-term care facilities may be eligible for vaccines through the VA.
