OCEAN COUNTY, NJ — If you're among the thousands of Ocean County residents still trying to get an appointment for the COVID-19 vaccination, here is the weekly update on locations offering the vaccine. Knowing the locations is only a third of the battle in getting inoculated, however. So in addition to the list of sites where vaccinations are being supplied, here are a host of tips culled from various places to get an appointment. Ocean County has had a dearth of sites providing inoculations, but there have been additional Rite Aid pharmacies added. While sites are listed, the limited supply of vaccine doses means you will have to check often for appointments. (See the Ocean County list of vaccine sites below.) For those who are not internet-comfortable, we've included information on contacting volunteer groups that are helping people — especially those 65 and older — make appointments for vaccinations.

On the days appointments open, go on the site at least an hour before the appointment times open. Once the appointments open you should see a message saying you're in the queue.
