Metuchen Makes Modifications To ‘Team Vaccine’ Program

METUCHEN, NJ – Earlier this week, Metuchen launched the ‘Team Vaccine’ program to help eligible residents secure appointments to receive the COVID-19 vaccines.

Since its launch, the volunteer program has been successful in booking more than 100 appointments in two days.

On Thursday, mayor Jonathan M Busch announced a few modifications to the program to ensure smooth operations and high success rate.

Here are the changes:

For the next few days, the program will prioritize senior citizens who are unable to make appointments.

Those who are not a senior or a person with medical needs, will have to wait until an appointment is scheduled.

This program is for residents who are 18 and above.

At this time, Team Vaccine is unable to schedule Johnson and Johnson vaccines, only Pfizer and Moderna.

Once an appointment is scheduled, residents are responsible for their own cancellations or rescheduling.

Team Vaccine will be at the Senior Center on Friday between noon and 4 p.m. for those who would like to give their information in-person.
