Second COVID-19 Vaccine Clinic Held In Mercer County

MERCER COUNTY, NJ – The second in a series of COVID-19 vaccination clinic was held in West Windsor on Jan 6 and 8.

The clinics continue to be held jointly by Mercer County towns twice a week on a rotating basis, for emergency medical services personnel and community healthcare workers eligible in the Phase 1A of the state’s phasing plan.

Effective Thursday, police officers and firefighters have been added to this priority Phase 1A group, and they are now eligible for vaccinations.

A list of state listed vaccination locations and scheduling information available for Phase 1A individuals, which include the following Mercer County sites, can be found here: https://covid19.nj.gov/pages/h...

The next group eligible for vaccination is Phase 1B, which includes seniors aged 75 and older, and frontline essential workers, followed by Phase 1C which will include adults 65 to 74 years, and adults with underlying medical conditions.

After these phases are complete, then Phase 2 will be implemented for the general public. The timing of each phase will be determined by the New Jersey Department of Health dependent upon progress and as vaccines become more readily available.
