Vaccination sites are closing across N.J. due to the snowstorm. Here’s the list. – NJ.com
Many New Jersey vaccination sites announced Sunday they are closing on Monday due to the winter storm that is forecast to deliver as many as 24 inches of snow to the northern part of the state.
The governor’s office also announced in a state of emergency declaration that all six mega-sites will temporarily shutter Monday as well.
Some counties have already re-scheduled appointments, while others are finding new times.
“Depending on the extent of the storm, operations of vaccine sites on Tuesday may also be disrupted,” the health department wrote Sunday in a message to those scheduled to receive vaccines soon. The department said all Monday appointments will likely be rescheduled.
