Dear Colleague,

The New Jersey Department of Human Services has announced that eight (8) free COVID tests, per month, are available from participating pharmacies for individuals enrolled in NJ FamilyCare/Medicaid. These free COVID tests should be brought to the pharmacy counter for check-out, in the same way that the NJ FamilyCare/Medicaid enrollee's prescription medications are obtained from the pharmacy.  See this link for additional information:


With regard to the COVID vaccines:  The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends: 

  • everyone age 5 and older should receive the COVID vaccine, and

  • everyone age 12 and older should receive the COVID booster, at least five months after the second COVID shot

For additional information on COVID vaccines for children and teens, please see this link from the CDC website:
