Mercer County Is Relocating One Of Its COVID Vaccine Sites

MERCER COUNTY, NJ — The County-operated COVID-19 vaccine site at Mercer County Community College will soon be relocating to Mercer County Park, County Executive Brian M. Hughes said.

In a letter to all mayors from Mercer County, Hughes said the relocation is set to take place on or before May 8. The site will be set up at the skating rink.

According to Hughes, more than 50 percent of Mercer County’s adult population has received at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine.

“My administration will sustain our push to receive as much vaccine as possible, so that we can continue to get shots into arms,” Hughes said in his letter.

“Let us continue to work together to vaccinate every Mercer County resident who wishes to be, as quickly as possible.”

As of Thursday 227, 706 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine have been administered to county residents, of which 148,749 are first doses. A total of 92,830 residents have been fully inoculated.
