The Hudson County Vaccine Distribution Center in Kearny is prioritizing people who are 75 years old and older this week, officials said, part of a statewide effort to vaccinate the most vulnerable and at-risk populations.
The county’s vaccine appointment portal will only permit appointment times for the 75+ population this week, but in the event slots go unfilled, the portal will be reopened for all other eligible Hudson County residents. More than 300 residents over the age of 75 have already registered to be vaccinated on Monday, 30 of whom are over 90 years old.
Hudson County launches COVID-19 vaccine awareness campaign
Hudson County Executive Tom DeGise launched a new public awareness campaign featuring county residents, designed to increase acceptance of COVID-19 vaccines, particularly in communities of color.
The first video features Hudson County Director of Health & Human Services Darice Toon talking about why she decided to get the vaccine.
“Darice Toon’s message to Hudson County residents is both simple and powerful: ‘trust the science, be a part of the solution,’ and I commend her for speaking out about this incredibly important issue,” DeGise said. “In order to beat back this pandemic, we will need as many people as possible to get vaccinated, and that means confronting some very real and historically justified fears, particularly in Black and Latino communities. That’s exactly why this campaign is so important and why we are excited to start it today.”
