In-Home
Vaccination Program
NEW JERSEY – The New Jersey Department of Health has launched a program that can provide in-home COVID-19 vaccine appointments for homebound persons and has begun accepting requests for this important service.
If you are unable to leave home to receive a COVID-19 vaccine, or you are the family member or caregiver of someone who is homebound, you may request an in¬-home vaccination appointment by completing a Request for In-Home Vaccination at https://covid19.nj.gov/homeboundvax
For assistance completing the survey by phone, please call the NJ COVID-19 Vaccine Call Center at 1-855-568-0545.
After you submit the request, the Department of Health will share your information with a home health agency, local health department, or other vaccination provider, and you will be contacted to schedule an in-home vaccination appointment.
You can visit the webpage https://covid19.nj.gov/faqs/nj-information/testing-and-¬treatment/how-can-i-get-the-covid-19-vaccine-if-im-homebound to learn more about this program.
If you are able to safely attend a medical appointment outside the home, we encourage you to book an appointment at an open vaccination site if such an opportunity occurs before an in-home appointment is available to you. Visit here to learn more: https://covid19.nj.gov/pages/finder

Pallone Announces New Jersey will Receive
$6.5 Million for Vaccine Awareness
Campaigns and Education
Funding Made Possible from Provision Pallone Authored in the American Rescue Plan
Press Release 5/5/21
Washington, DC – Congressman Frank Pallone, Jr. (NJ-06) today announced that New Jersey will receive $6.5 million for COVID-19 vaccine awareness campaigns, education, and outreach. The funding will help expand outreach to increase vaccination rates and will be distributed through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
“I’m glad to see funds from the American Rescue Plan are making their way to New Jersey to help increase our state’s COVID-19 vaccination rate,” Congressman Pallone said. “COVID-19 vaccines are the key to rebuilding our economy, protecting the health of our community, and safely returning to normal patterns of life. It’s critical that everyone in New Jersey and across the country know that these vaccines are safe, effective, and widely available. Everyone must do their part and get a vaccine, so we can end this devastating pandemic.”
Pallone’s Energy and Commerce Committee authored the provision in the American Rescue Plan that Congress passed and President Biden signed into law in March. The American Rescue Plan established a national vaccination program and provided critical funding and resources to increase COVID-19 vaccinations across the country
