Many of you have questions regarding the COVID-19 immunization. When will it be available? Is it safe? Where can I obtain information? Where can I be vaccinated?

Morris County, the Washington Township Health Department, and Washington Township Board of Health have coordinated plans to provide immunization clinics for residents.

The distribution of vaccine is based on a federal plan which prioritizes specific groups such as healthcare workers and critical infrastructure employees. The second group includes people with chronic medical conditions and seniors, followed by the general public.

For the latest information on vaccine safety, when vaccinations will become available, and other updates, residents are urged to routinely check the Township website and the NJ Department of Health COVID-19 vaccination website:

Stay informed and continue preventive efforts including getting tested, wearing a mask, social distancing, good hand hygiene, not touching your eyes or face, and following cough and sneeze etiquette. Together we can keep Washington Township a healthy community.
