Hudson County will open its first COVID-19 vaccination site at the USS Juneau Center, Office of Emergency Management in Kearny next week, according to Hudson County Executive Tom DeGise.
The center will be operated by the Hudson Regional Health Commission and overseen by the newly established Hudson County Vaccine Task Force, which will coordinate vaccine response across several county departments.
But just because the vaccination site will be up and running doesn’t mean the county will stop offering COVID-19 testing. It will continue to partner with Hudson Regional Hospital in Secaucus to provide tests.
