Where To Find A COVID-19 Vaccine Site In Cape May County

CAPE MAY COUNTY, NJ — New Jersey has been expanding the number of publicly listed COVID-19 vaccination sites, and the state continues to announce new locations in Cape May County and elsewhere.

The state has provided a list of vaccine sites in your area. Some are accepting appointments directly, but some are not (see the county's list of vaccine sites below).

Vaccine sites across the state were closed earlier this week due to the nor'easter.

Appointments that were postponed when six vaccine "mega-sites" closed this week due to the winter storm are currently being rescheduled, state officials said Wednesday.

Anyone affected by closures Monday and Tuesday should have received a call, text or email from those operating the vaccination site to have their appointment rescheduled, Deputy Health Commissioner Dr. David Aldinaro said.

As of Friday Cape May County administered a total of 13,972 vaccines.

New Jersey recently expanded the list of eligible people, allowing police and fire professionals and people older than 65 to get the vaccine. Read more: NJ Expands COVID Vaccine To 65 & Older, Those With Medical Issues
