Bergen County COVID Vaccine Site List Expands: What To Know

BERGEN COUNTY, NJ — With further expansion expected in the coming days, New Jersey has added to the publicly listed COVID-19 vaccination site list.

In Bergen County, this includes six new sites since our most recent update.

The five sites are:

New Bridge Medical Center Annex

• Alternate Care Facility
• 230 East Ridgewood Avenue
• Paramus, NJ 07652

• (201) 265-2100
• https://www.paramusborough.org...

Paramus Board of Health

• (201) 265-2100
• https://www.paramusborough.org...

• 40 Nathaniel Place
• Englewood NJ 07631
• (201) 816-8322
• https://shop.shoprite.com/glob...

• 220 West Passaic St.
• Rochelle Park, NJ 07662
• (201) 843-5572

• Haworth, NJ 07641
• (201) 384-7171

But just because the list of sites has grown doesn't mean the list of people who can get the vaccine is growing as well.

Vaccines are currently only available to those who fit the criteria for Phase 1A, as well as sworn law enforcement, fire professionals, and other first responders who fit the criteria for Phase 1B.

Currently, the number of COVID-19 vaccination sites sits at 120 across the state, but Health Commissioner Judith Persichilli, speaking to NJ Spotlight News, said on Saturday that the state plans to increase the number of vaccination sites to 300.

There isn't a timeline for that expansion yet, however.

Some vaccination sites — like prisons and psychiatric hospitals — aren't listed currently because they aren't available to the public.

Hospital sites are currently open, but only to healthcare workers, though some municipalities, like Teaneck, have hinted at forthcoming partnerships.

Further details about New Jersey vaccination sites will be available early this week, state officials said.
