PRINCETON, NJ — New Jersey has been expanding the number of publicly listed COVID-19 vaccination sites, and a number of locations have been identified in Mercer County. 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 county's list of vaccine sites below). Beginning Feb. 13 all clinics that were being held in Mercer County towns were relocated to either the CURE Arena or Mercer County Community College site. Earlier this week the county received 2,600 new doses of the COVID-19 vaccine from the state. County officials say about 12 percent of Mercer adults have received the vaccine so far. Although not enough, officials say they continue to push the state to give them more doses. 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. CVS and Rite Aid are now offering the coronavirus vaccines, and a number of towns have been identified as locations. 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.
