New Jersey residents looking for a coronavirus vaccine can likely find an opportunity to do so without traveling too far and may not even need to make an appointment, as vaccine availability increases and the number of people seeking shots decreases.
Vaccine sites that have started accepting walk-in appointments include the 324 CVS locations and 68 Walmart and Sam’s Club locations across the state, both of which began taking walk-ins earlier this week. All six of New Jersey’s coronavirus vaccine mega-sites are also offering walk-in appointments.

I am here to tell you that as of last week, I am fully vaccinated.
Now here comes the part where I tell you, originally, I really didn t want to get vaccinated.
My hesitations about getting the COVID-19 vaccine didn t stem from a fear that they aren t safe or that the government would be microchipping me, it was purely personal/selfish. By personal I mean, my body typically reacts hardcore to vaccinations and I hate feeling sick.
I knew full well going in that the likelihood that I would feel like garbage for 24 hours after each shot was very high, but I rolled up my sleeves anyway. Why? I didn t do it because the government was telling me to get the shot. I didn t do it because I am a sheep . I did it because I wanted to protect the people I love most and will not fare well if they got COVID-19. I did it so my kids could hug their grandparents again which they haven t done in over a year.
