HOLMDEL, NJ - A brand-new offering has come to the famed Bell Works metroburb in Holmdel.
According to a Wednesday announcement from the Holmdel Township Committee, you can now shop, eat, play and get vaccinated against COVID-19 at the Crawfords Corner Road location.
The Visiting Nurses Association of Central Jersey have established a vaccination site at Bell Works facility in Holmdel as of this week, the committee wrote in a statement on social media.

The vaccination site launched to a limited pool of eligible recipients with plans for the expansion of appointments starting next week. Appointments are required at the vaccination site and no walk ins will be accepted.
Some cried tears of relief. Some murmured prayers of thanks for fallen co-workers and friends. Some avoided looking at the needle about to jab their arms, while others thanked the person vaccinating them. More than 150,000 New Jersey health care workers have received their first doses of the COVID vaccine and are starting their booster shots.
For hospitals, the first New Jersey institutions to inject the COVID vaccine into the arms of their employees, the rollout has been an emotional experience and a logistical challenge. They’ve engineered new websites, carved out space and redeployed staff.
“We’ve got a lot of people to vaccinate, and everybody is going as quickly as they can to vaccinate as many people as they can,” Robert Garrett, Hackensack Meridian Health’s CEO, said of the statewide effort. The state’s goal is to inoculate 70% of the adult population 4.7 million people by the end of June.
