Mercer County COVID Vaccine Site List: What To Know

MERCER COUNTY, NJ – New Jersey has been expanding the number of publicly listed COVID-19 vaccination sites, and the state continues to announce new locations in Mercer County and elsewhere.

The state has provided a list of vaccine sites in your area. Some are accepting appointments directly, but some are not (see the area/county’s list of vaccine sites below).

Penn Medicine Princeton announced Wednesday they were closing online registration because appointments "exceeded" supply.

On Monday, Gov. Phil Murphy urged resident to remain patient and said he was looking into fixing the shortage.

"We continue to ask for patience; all we need are these doses," he said. "We will get it there. We are ready to kick into high gear whenever our supply increases."

"It won't be tomorrow; it probably won't be next week. But everyone who wants to be vaccinated will be vaccinated," the governor promised. "There is far more demand than we have actual supply of doses available."

Across New Jersey, many sites closed due to the shortage, while others stopped taking registration as the demand increased supply.

On Wednesday, Gov. Phil Murphy said the state will get $216 million from the Federal Emergency Management Agency to boost vaccine distribution by 16 percent. The funds will pay for costs associated with storage, transport, distribution, and administration of vaccines

This week Mercer Count received 800 doses of the vaccine. They will be distributed across sites in the county. These doses will go to the public health departments in each town.

A total of 18,742 vaccines have been administered in Mercer County.

New Jersey recently expanded the list of eligible people, allowing police and fire professionals and people older than 65 to get the vaccine. Read more: NJ Expands COVID Vaccine To 65 & Older, Those With Medical Issues

Persichilli said the state has administered at least 36 percent of vaccine doses allocated. Hospitals have administered vaccines at least 50 percent of their health care workers.

Her hope is to continue to expand the number of "mega-sites" in convention centers and large spaces, aiming for 1,000 people vaccinated a day.
