COVID Vaccine Site List In Wayne Area: What To Know

This story was updated Friday at 1:17 p.m.

WAYNE, NJ – New Jersey has been expanding the number of publicly listed COVID-19 vaccination sites, and a number of locations have been identified in the Wayne area and elsewhere.

Some are accepting appointments directly, but some are not. But the state has suggested reaching out to those sites and seeing if getting an appointment is possible (see the area’s list of vaccine sites below).

Health Commissioner Judith Persichilli said the state plans to increase the number of vaccination sites beyond 300. State officials have said the goal is to vaccinate 70 percent of the adult population by the spring.

Gov. Phil Murphy announced that New Jersey has created a county-by-county vaccine hub that reports the number of immunizations across the state.

"We're working strategically and efficiently to vaccinate our frontline health care workers, law enforcement and fire professionals and long-term care center residents and staff," he said.

Health officials said not all sites are publicly listed because some are not open to the public, such as prisons and psychiatric hospitals.

CVS and Rite Aid are now offering COVID vaccines, and a number of New towns have been identified as locations. Appointments for the latest allocation of doses will start to become available for booking on Saturday, as stores receive shipments of vaccine, officials said.

Persichilli said New Jersey currently doesn't have a lot of vaccine availability, but she expects that to change soon. The Biden presidential administration has said that it plans to greatly expand the number of vaccine doses available to the American public.

Her hope is to continue to expand the number of "mega-sites" in convention centers and large spaces, aiming for 1,000 people vaccinated a day.

Gov. Phil Murphy, speaking at CHEMED Health Center in Ocean County, said recent developments should bode well for the flow of vaccines coming into New Jersey.

Murphy said Friday that he anticipates to see moderate increases in doses to begin arriving to the state and to locations like Ocean County over the next few weeks. Murphy said that the supply of vaccinations will "explode" by early April.

Officials like Bill Pascrell, Jr. and Gov. Phil Murphy were slated to visit Passaic County vaccine sites in recent days, including the St. John the Baptist Roman Catholic Cathedral community vaccination site in Paterson.
