How to get the COVID-19 Vaccination if you are homebound

Hello Division Constituents and Community Partners, 

 We are pleased to announce that the New Jersey Department of Health has launched a program that can provide in-home COVID-19 vaccine appointments for homebound persons and has begun accepting requests for this important service.  

 If you are unable to leave home to receive a COVID-19 vaccine, or are the family member or caregiver of someone who is homebound, you may request an in-home vaccination appointment by completing this [covid19.nj.gov/homeboundvax]Request for In-Home Vaccination. 

 For assistance completing the survey by phone, please call the NJ COVID-19 Vaccine Call Center at 1-855-568-0545.  

 After you submit the request, the Department of Health will share information with a home health agency, local health department, or other vaccination providers and you will be contacted to schedule an in-home vaccination appointment. 

 You can visit the webpage, How can I get the COVID-19 vaccine I’m homebound?, to learn more about this program. 

 In order to receive vaccination as soon as possible, if you are able to safely attend a medical appointment outside the home, we encourage you to book an appointment at an open vaccination site if an opportunity occurs before an in-home appointment is made available to you. 

Thank you.
