COVID-19 vaccines are on the way to hospitals and clinics across New Jersey. You can reserve your spot to get a vaccine now by pre-registering on the NJ Vaccine Scheduling System (NJVSS). The site will ask some questions to determine when you are eligible to receive the vaccination.

This will allow the general public to pre-register for eligibility, and to input their personal, contact, health insurance, and demographic information. It will also allow for individuals to schedule an appointment for those who are immediately eligible based on screening questions.

Filling out this form should take about 15 minutes, and the information you enter will be kept private with the State of New Jersey. Click the link below to reserve your spot.
