The vaccination options in New Jersey are growing in number, not only in terms of how many residents are eligible but also in the availability of shots and the number of locations where they can become inoculated.
As of this week, tens of thousands of shots of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine were delivered to the state, making it the third vaccination option alongside the Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines widely available to the public.

Riverside Medical Group, in Secaucus, has launched a community partnership aimed at expanding access to the COVID-19 vaccine for New Jersey’s underserved populations. Riverside has teamed up with shelters, including the nonprofit Eva’s Village in Paterson, Covenant House New Jersey, and Helping the Homeless in Newark to bring COVID-19 vaccines to the homeless.
“The inequities that we’re seeing in vaccination administration is a problem, and we want to be part of the solution,” said Dr. Zeyad Baker, CEO of Riverside Medical Group. “Riverside has strong roots in our community and deeply-ingrained values of providing access to care when and where people need it. That’s why we’re proud to leverage our relationships with Eva’s Village and Helping the Homeless to bring vaccinations to the communities that otherwise wouldn’t have access.”
