HUDSON COUNTY, NJ — With more people eligible for the coronavirus vaccine in New Jersey (and a new group becoming eligible March 26), more people are looking for appointments statewide. Besides registering for an appointment on the state's hub for any of the state's six megasites, the state has been updating its list of Hudson County sites (see this week's list below). In addition to those county sites and medical offices, chains like CVS, Walmart, Sam's Club, Rite Aid, and Shoprite have been offering the shot. Click here to see what's available at CVS. Hoboken also has local sites to vaccinate its eligible residents, with a new one-stop Hoboken signup site for eligible residents revealed this week: http://www.hobokennj.gov/vaccinesignup Communities in Jersey City got two vaccine sites at churches in underserved areas last week (see a story about that here), while Palisades Medical Center is administering more shots to residents of North Hudson towns.

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, 538,000 Americans have died of the virus. (You can see which states had the highest death toll in the past week on this CDC map.)
