Vaccine availability South Jersey area

At last nights meeting with the NJ Governors office on COVID Vaccine, we were informed there may be available doses in the Camden NJ area. 

Members who would like to be vaccinated and would be willing to travel to that area email GC Johnson at jjohnson@utulocal60.com your name, employee number and a contact number (the facility will contact you to schedule an appointment) 

We are working on getting availability in Northern NJ, and will update when we have that information.

NJ Transit is also working with University Hospital to get employees vaccinated, see below

NJ TRANSIT has also partnered with University Hospital to offer vaccination appointments specifically for ALL NJ TRANSIT employees, after March 15. Registration for this vaccination program is open NOW, and you must use the following two-step verification process in order for University Hospital to verify that you are an active NJ TRANSIT employee:

  • Using your NJ TRANSIT e-mail address, e-mail University Hospital at NJTransit@uhnj.orgIn your e-mail, indicate your interest in the program and include your NJ TRANSIT ID number and your preferred telephone number.


  • University Hospital staff will then call you directly to review information and set up your appointment.

You will need to bring your government-issued photo ID and your insurance card to your appointment. However, you will not bear any out-of-pocket expenses to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.

 

We were also told NJ Transit will have additional vaccines available next week at Maplewood and Camden Medical facilities employees can register here; 

Next week, NJ TRANSIT expects to receive an additional supply of COVID-19 vaccines from NJDOH. As before, only active, frontline, public-facing NJ TRANSIT employees – Police Officer, Bus Operator, Conductor, Assistant Conductor, Locomotive Engineer, Customer Services Representative, or other public-facing employees – will be permitted to receive the vaccine here at NJ TRANSIT.

If you are an active, frontline, public-facing NJ TRANSIT employee and you would like to sign up to receive a vaccine through NJ TRANSIT, please visit the following registration link:
