Free COVID Vaccines Offered At Wayne Summer Concerts

WAYNE, NJ — Township officials have announced expanded vaccination locations, starting this week at the first Wayne summer concert.

The COVID-19 vaccines will be free to anyone over 12, and the township will even let those looking for the jab to choose which vaccine — Pfizer, Moderna, Johnson & Johnson — they'd prefer.

Nurses and a doctor will be present at the summer concert series to administer vaccines, but appointments are also still available through the Health Department, and at weekly clinics in the township.

Homebound residents can also schedule a vaccination appointment in their home, and can also schedule them for family members and caretakers.

The Health Department also announced a willingness to provide a free, on-site clinic at any Wayne business or faith-based organization.

This comes as Passaic County boasts a rate of 70 percent of adults with at least one dose, but with Wayne still at 62 percent vaccinated for all ages, according to New Jersey Department of Health data.
