For more information visit the NJ Covid-19 Information Hub

WHEN WILL YOU HAVE THE VACCINE AVAILABLE?

The supply of COVID-19 vaccines are limited at first, so we are following recommendations from the local, state, and federal government to vaccinate priority groups first. We are registered with both the state and CDC and are receiving vaccines base on allocations from the state of NJ.

HOW MANY DOSES WILL I NEED TO RECEIVE?

There are two vaccines authorized and recommended to prevent COVID-19. They are Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine and Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine. Both of these vaccines require 2 doses of the vaccine to be effective. These vaccines are not interchangeable and the two doses that you receive need to be from the same vaccine manufacturer. We cannot guarantee which vaccine we will be receiving.

HOW MUCH DOES THE COVID-19 VACCINE COST?

The Covid-19 vaccine will be free to everyone. However, if you have insurance, we will collect your insurance information at the time of your appointment.

ARE THERE SIDE-EFFECTS OF THE COVID-19 VACCINE?

It is normal to have certain reactions after a vaccination: There may be redness, swelling or pain around the injection site. Fatigue, fever, headache and aching limbs are also not uncommon in the first three days after vaccination. These normal vaccine reactions are usually mild and subside after a few days. They show that the vaccine is working, because it stimulates the immune system and the body forms antibodies against the infection that is only "feigned" by the vaccination.. If you have questions or concerns, please contact your physician.
