Health Department Clinic Waiting List Will Provide Rolling Sign Up As Vacancies Occur

Congressman Malinowski and County Director Soloway Tour Clinic

Hunterdon County’s Health Department has announced that those seeking to be added to the COVID-19 vaccination clinic waiting list should check the county website (co.hunterdon.nj.us) regularly, as vacancies will open on a rolling basis, once groups of individuals on the 5000 person list are vaccinated, receive appointments or gain vaccination elsewhere. Friday’s waiting list sign up was capped at 5000 individuals, but many more residents desired access to the list, far exceeding the limit. “Everyone on the waiting list is guaranteed vaccine at the county clinic, as supplies are received. The Health Department cannot extend the waiting list for the clinic beyond the level of expected vaccine supplies. The Department appreciates that there are many more people eligible for vaccination beyond the waiting list with 5000 places. The County continues to receive only 400-500 doses per week, while eligibility has been extended by the state to 50,000 people in the county,” Health Department Director Karen DeMarco said.
