New COVID-19 Immunizations Offered by Private Providers

Many individuals have relied on their nearby health department for the COVID-19 immunization since the start of the pandemic, but this fall “marks a different phase in the provider landscape,” said Health Officer Daniel J. Krupinski of the Long Beach Island Health Department. “The federal government stopped purchasing vaccine, and the state ended facilitating distribution that enabled local health departments to offer widespread vaccine.

“However, vaccines will largely remain available through private providers,” Krupinski added.
