This story was updated at 11:30 a.m. on Friday, March 5. HUDSON COUNTY, NJ — With 80,000 doses of the new Johnson and Johnson coronavirus vaccine sent to hospitals around New Jersey this week, people are beginning to see more availability for vaccine appointments statewide. On Friday, four new vaccine locations were added in Hudson County, including two Acme supermarkets and a Stop & Shop (see that list below). Also, Friday morning after 6 a.m., six CVS stores in New Jersey had appointments available, including — if you're willing to drive —Central and South Jersey locations. The chain maintained that Hoboken will get shots at its locations some point in the future. "Johnson & Johnson's Janssen COVID-19 vaccine has been authorized for emergency use by the FDA," notes CVS on its appointment page. "Appointments now available in select locations. Check availability in your area below." Click here to see what's available at CVS. And two communities in Jersey City will get vaccine sites next week (see a story about that here), while Palisades Medical Center is administering more shots to residents of North Hudson towns. The city of Hoboken also has some locations for seniors and others currently eligible, listed in the beginning of the story linked here. But how else do you get one in New Jersey? There have been some updates in the past two weeks: Teachers and certain other essential workers will become eligible starting March 15. Find out more in this story.Some in New Jersey have been helped to find an appointment through social media groups, like New Jersey Covid Vaccine Info on Facebook, which has 67,000 members.Last week, Patch reported that young people in North Jersey have started volunteering to use their tech skills to get elderly residents a shot.

In addition to those locations, residents can try to find an appointment at their own local pharmacy, hospital, or medical office. Rite Aid's signup list is here. More information about the vaccines Presently, the state's sites are vaccinating people in the 1A and 1B groups, including certain essential workers, seniors over 65, and people 16-65 with chronic medical conditions.

The Johnson & Johnson vaccine is more traditional (see stories about all three vaccines here and here.) Doctors say that the important metric is that all three are effective in preventing serious illness and death from covid, and that having the majority of the public vaccinated, no matter which vaccine, will lessen the spread.As of this week, more than 520,000 Americans have died of the virus. (You can see which states had the highest death toll in the past week on this CDC map.) Here are the currently listed public vaccine sites in Hudson County, with the ones fully bolded that are new this week. Some of them have their own websites to sign up. Most of these sites are currently only vaccinating people 18 and up, so double check before heading over.
