COVID Vaccination Appointments Delayed In Monmouth County

FREEHOLD, NJ – COVID vaccine appointments scheduled for Monday were canceled due to the continued delay in vaccine deliveries caused by winter weather.

The county still has not gotten a notification that the vaccines have even been shipped yet, said Commissioner Director Thomas A. Arnone.

“Again, we apologize for this inconvenience to those with scheduled appointments. Everyone who had an appointment scheduled for Monday, Feb. 22 should report to the same location on Monday, March 1 at the same time as their originally scheduled appointment,” he said.

It's not clear if the announcement impacts all sites in Monmouth County or just county-run sites (see list of sites in Monmouth County below).

“We have been patient, but it is time to hold people accountable for this delay,” added Arnone. “The county will do whatever it takes to administer vaccines to our residents, but we cannot if vaccines are not distributed to us.”

Everyone that had an appointment scheduled for Wednesday, Feb. 17, Thursday, Feb. 18, Friday, Feb. 19 or Saturday, Feb. 20 will be contacted next week to be rescheduled, said Commissioner Deputy Director Susan M. Kiley.

“For everyone who was scheduled for a second dose, it is important to note that the second dose can be administered any time between 28 and 42 days after the first dose, she said.

For information on the COVID-19 vaccine, please visit the county’s COVID-19 vaccination webpage located at www.visitmonmouth.com/health. Vaccines are only being given to those who are eligible as defined by the state. Please do not go to a vaccination clinic without a confirmed appointment.
