COVID-19 VACCINE – What NJ Residents Need to Know
COVID-19 VACCINE Information
We are over a year into this pandemic but we now have a light at the end of the tunnel. We have 3 safe and effective vaccines approved in the U.S. Almost everyone should be getting vaccinated when it is your turn. If you have specific questions about the vaccine or if you should get it, please contact your doctor to discuss. The vaccine is free to everyone regardless of insurance or immigration status. The bigger question now is how to get the vaccine scheduled.
