[Mendhamtwprecreation] Morris County’s COVID-19 Vaccination Mega-Site & Pre-Registration Information

Yesterday, Morris County’s COVID-19 Vaccination Mega-Site opened at the Rockaway Townsquare Mall. New Jersey is rolling out vaccines in a phased approach until large quantities of vaccines become available. At this time, the state is vaccinating healthcare workers, long-term care facility residents and staff, and active law enforcement officers and firefighters. For more information about the phased vaccination approach and priority groups, please refer to this NJ Health Department document<https://www.state.nj.us/health/cd/documents/topics/NCOV/VaccinePhasesFactSheet.pdf>. If you would like to be notified when the vaccine is available to you, please register on the NJ Vaccine Scheduling System<https://covidvaccine.nj.gov/>v/>. This online portal enables various groups in the initial phases and the general public to pre-register, find a vaccination site, and schedule an appointment. As of 10:00am on Wednesday morning, 134,985 New Jerseyans had been vaccinated. Additionally, the New Jersey Medical Reserve Corps<https://www.nj.gov/health/lh/njmrc/> is actively looking for retired healthcare professionals with vaccination skills to volunteer to vaccinate fellow residents. To volunteer, please visit covid19.nj.gov<https://covid19.nj.gov/>v/>. We will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as they become available. Have a good weekend, and stay well.
