Vaccines Coming To Wayne: Here's What We Know

WAYNE, NJ — Mayor Christopher Vergano announced that the township will soon be able to administer vaccines, and said a "vaccine station" would be held at Tom's Lake in Captain Kilroy Park.

The township has ordered vaccines, according to Vergano, but officials are unsure when they'll receive doses.

That vaccine site will begin inoculating those in category 1A, and will progress to category 1B per government guidance. It's not clear where that site will be.

An appointment must be set through the township website, much like Wayne-hosted COVID-19 testing.

"The details will come forward as they are available," he said.

Area hospitals have already started vaccinations amongst staff, and Vergano said local nursing homes were among those to receive doses of the vaccine last week.

Vergano added that once vaccines are available to the general public, the township may also help in vaccination some nursing home patients, but those details are still up in the air.

Testing is still available for Wayne residents through the county, but Wayne's COVID-19 testing program has ended, Vergano announced.

Passaic County's testing will come to Wayne on Thursday, however.
