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 the County. 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) (CLICK HERE). If you experience an error or need help registering with the NJVSS, you can complete an online form (CLICK HERE), 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 (CLICK HERE).

There are currently two Mercer County regional vaccination sites – CURE Arena in Trenton, being administered by Capital Health, and Mercer County Community College in West Windsor Township. Currently, the State is allocating 1000 vaccines per week to each site. Residents must register with the New Jersey Vaccine Scheduling System (NJVSS) at https://covidvaccine.nj.gov. No walk-ups will be accommodated at the vaccination sites. DO NOT PHONE the Township or the County or Capital Health for appointments. For more information on the CURE Insurance Arena and MCCC vaccination sites, email Mercer County officials at publichealth@mercercounty.org

CVS Pharmacy began accepting vaccine appointments, at some various 27 CVS locations statewide, but not all will be up and running immediately. CVS is not releasing a list of pharmacies offering vaccines because the stores will change according to vaccine availability. To sign up for an appointment, go to cvs.com/immunizations/covid-19-vaccine. For those without online access, call the CVS customer service line at (800) 746-7287. CVS has asked the public not to contact individual stores for appointments, and there will be no walk-ins.

Rite Aid Pharmacy has a list of over 70 Rite Aid stores which may be performing COVID-19 vaccinations, beginning as early as Friday, February 19, but doses are limited initially to 100 per week per store, which is expected to grow over time. Currently, the only Mercer County Rite Aid vaccination site is located at 1801 Kuser Road, Trenton. The Rite-Aid registration link is https://www.riteaid.com/pharmacy/covid-qualifier.

The number of vaccines available may vary, so you may need to check back several times if you are seeking an appointment at a specific location.
