COVID-19 Vaccine at Princeton Health

Menu
Princeton Health is pleased to be a New Jersey State Vaccination POD to support this important step in addressing the COVID-19 Pandemic.  All State Vaccine PODs are required to follow the NJ State guidelines for the phasing of individuals eligible for the vaccine which can be found here.

Important information to know before you request your appointment:

  • You must receive both vaccines at the same location as each POD will receive second doses of vaccines based on the first doses administered.
  • You must be available to return for your second vaccine within the prescribed number of days for the vaccine you receive (Pfizer 21 days, Moderna 28 days). We may not be able to tell you in advance which vaccine you will receive, so you need to plan for both possibilities.
  • You must qualify in the eligible phase before you complete a request for a vaccine appointment.  To determine if you are eligible, see the State website here.
  • If you are not currently eligible, you may register with the State here to receive notification as to when you are eligible.

 

For Those with an Appointment to Receive a Vaccine 

  • FIRST DOSE: If you have an appointment to receive your FIRST DOSE that falls during the weeks of 2/22, 3/1, 3/8 or 3/15, please go to 731 Alexander Road, Suite 103 in Princeton. (Please note, you will return to this site for your second dose appointment.)
  • SECOND DOSE: If you have an appointment to receive your SECOND DOSE that falls during the weeks of 2/22, 3/1, 3/8 or 3/15, please go to Penn Medicine Princeton Medical Center Education Center, 1 Plainsboro Road in Plainsboro.

Next Steps

Each week, if Princeton Health receives a COVID-19 vaccine supply from the State of New Jersey, we will contact by phone or via e-mail eligible individuals who have completed the vaccine interest form to invite them to schedule a vaccine appointment at Penn Medicine Princeton Health. 

 

Vaccine Availability

Due to high demand, COVID-19 vaccine supplies are limited statewide and across the nation. Each week, Princeton Health receives word from the state in regard to how many doses of the vaccine we can expect to receive to be administered the following week. Some weeks, we do not receive any vaccine supply. Appointments will be issued based on the number of doses we expect to receive. Once you are scheduled for your first dose, we anticipate having supply reserved for you for your second dose. If you've already received your first dose elsewhere, you must return to that location for your second dose. 

 

Timing to Receive an Invitation to Schedule

Because vaccine supply is limited and demand for COVID-19 vaccines is high, we cannot tell you exactly when you will receive an invitation to schedule after you have submitted a Vaccine Interest form. We estimate it could take weeks to months to receive an invitation to schedule a vaccine appointment at Princeton Health. We continue to encourage those interested in receiving a COVID-19 vaccine to register with the State of New Jersey as this provides access to register at additional vaccination sites.
