​Ocean City’s Volunteer Team Secures Vaccines For Seniors

OCEAN CITY, NJ — Ocean City’s Community Services Team has secured vaccination appointments for almost 300 seniors as of Thursday, Mayor Jay Gillian said.

“I’m proud that we have been able to provide this important service to those who have been frustrated by the online scheduling systems,” Gillian said Thursday in his state of the city address.

The volunteer team ensures that seniors and residents without computer access are registered with the New Jersey State Vaccine Registration System, which puts people in line for vaccinations in Cape May County as they become available.

They also attempt to help residents enroll in the appointment selection process for the mega site in Atlantic City.

Residents in need of this service can call 609-399-6111 or stop by the Ocean City Community Center, City Hall Welcome Center or 46th Street Welcome Center.

This form includes some of the information volunteers need to help people get registered and scheduled.
