Some residents in Ocean
County are getting email notices that their second COVID-19 shots were
canceled, but in reality, that's not the case – the email went out by mistake.
If you got the first dose,
you will still get the second dose through the health department regardless of
where you live.
If you signed up for the
first dose, but live out of the county, and received an appointment, that may
be cancelled.
If you have yet to sign up,
you will only be able to do so with proof of residency in Ocean County.
The health department became
overwhelmed in a hurry when Gov. Phil Murphy opened the vaccine eligibility to
millions of New Jersey residents, crashing websites and slamming phones.
If
you were scheduled for your second dose and receive a cancellation notice, or
have questions, go to the Ocean County Health Department
Facebook page. They
have been responding to people asking on their updates.
