The clinic will be set up between 31st and 32nd Streets between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. with individuals having the option to be vaccinated with either the Johnson and Johnson or Moderna vaccine.
“Since becoming more readily available, Hudson County has worked closely with our municipal partners to ensure this lifesaving vaccine is easily accessible to all of our residents,” Hudson County Executive Tom DeGise said in a statement.
“Whether that means setting up vaccination clinics in our county parks or arranging vaccination opportunities with local community groups, we are going to continue our efforts to get Hudson vaccinated by any means possible. I thank Mayor Stack for his partnership and remind everyone to trust the science and do their part to put an end to this pandemic.”

“Expanding eligibility of the Pfizer vaccine for younger populations is another big step forward in our fight against COVID-19,” Hudson County Executive Tom DeGise said in a statement.
“We are working to make this vaccine more easily available to students by offering weekend vaccinations at our county-run site so they do not miss classroom time. I encourage anyone who lives, works or studies in Hudson County who has not yet been vaccinated to trust the science and schedule an appointment today.”

“With the COVID-19 vaccine now widely accessible throughout the country, Hudson County has spent the past several weeks identifying innovative ways to get this lifesaving vaccine into the arms of our residents,” Hudson County Executive Tom DeGise said in a statement.
“By building partnerships like what we have done with The Islamic Council of Hudson County and bringing the vaccination directly into our communities, we continue to take the necessary steps forward to end this pandemic.”
The clinic is timed to coincide with Eid al-Fitr, the Muslim holiday marking the end of Ramadan since thousands of local Muslims are expected to gather together in the park to break their fast.
