This story was updated Wednesday, April 21. BERGEN COUNTY, NJ – New Jersey has been expanding the number of publicly listed COVID-19 vaccination sites, and a number of locations have been identified in Bergen County and elsewhere. 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). Sites across the state began vaccinating those 16 and older this week after the state enacted their expanded eligibility list. All New Jersey residents are now eligible to schedule a COVID-19 vaccine! Bergen County residents 18+ can schedule...Posted by Bergen County Executive Jim Tedesco on Tuesday, April 20, 2021 Holy Name Medical Center shared some photos from this week: Jeff Rhode/ Holy Name Medical Center Jeff Rhode/ Holy Name Medical Center Jeff Rhode/ Holy Name Medical Center Jeff Rhode/ Holy Name Medical Center It'll be easier in the future to find vaccine appointments after the state launched a beta version of an Appointment Finder, which is live and ready to use.

Health officials put a pause on the administration of J&J vaccines after concerns over blood clots surfaced, causing a number of Bergen County hospitals and vaccine clinics to adjust, but few to cancel appointments. Neither the site at Bergen New Bridge Medical Center, nor the Bergen County megasite were forced to cancel appointments, for example.

State officials have said the goal is to vaccinate 70 percent of the adult population by the spring. 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. Efforts to get educators vaccinated have been ongoing in Bergen County, with Rep. Josh Gottheimer assisting local hospitals, he said. "Throughout the COVID-19 crisis, each hospital in North Jersey has played a vital role in helping keep our residents healthy and safe. Now, I'm proud to be working with each of these hospitals to begin a new initiative to help get vaccines to even more educators and school staff throughout the Fifth District," said Gottheimer. "Prioritizing vaccinations for teachers and school staff is critical to reopening our schools safely, and to getting our students and communities back on track. I'm grateful to the hospitals for stepping up to help our teachers and educators." "BCEA is thrilled that Valley has instituted the Supporting Our Schools vaccination program. Getting our school employees vaccinated is essential to getting our schools and our communities closer to a place of normalcy and maintaining safe working environments. We greatly appreciate Valley's recognition of how tirelessly our educators have worked throughout this health crisis," said Bergen County Education Association President Sue McBride. Health officials said not all sites are publicly listed because some are not open to the public, such as prisons and psychiatric hospitals. In Bergen County, officials in county offices and at Bergen New Bridge are working to expand their reach as more vaccines are administered. This effort, led by the county's COVID-19 Vaccine Equity Team, most recently created a vaccine clinic in Mahwah for the Ramapough Lenape Nation.
