The New Jersey Department of Health will direct vaccination partners in the state to begin administering booster doses once ACIP and CDC provide further guidance. The Governor and the Department will provide updates to the public once eligibility guidance is available.

In the meantime, the Department will continue efforts to vaccinate as many people as possible, especially 12 to 17-year-olds, and reminds people to get their second dose to ensure greater protection. Given upticks in cases and deaths, the Department strongly encourages all eligible persons to initiate vaccination as soon as possible.

Those who are immunocompromised should not delay their third dose of Pfizer or Moderna. Vaccination sites can be identified online at covid19.nj.gov/finder or by calling 1-855-568-0545.
