Six mega vaccine sites were recently announced to open next month in New Jersey. The closest for Cape May County residents would be the Atlantic City Convention Center. Gov. Phil Murphy has not given an exact date for when it would open, but it was estimated to be mid-month.

The State is planning for 200 satellite vaccination sites throughout the State. More details on when and where to get vaccinated in Cape May County will be forthcoming in the future.
