Monmouth County Commissioner Director Thomas A. Arnone and Commissioner Deputy Director Susan M. Kiley said vaccine appointments scheduled for Mon., Feb. 22 are canceled due to the continued delay in vaccine deliveries.
“The county still has not gotten notification that the vaccines have even shipped yet and so we have no choice but to cancel the scheduled appointments for Monday,” Arnone said. “Again, we apologize for this inconvenience to those with scheduled appointments. Everyone who had an appointment scheduled for Monday, Feb. 22 should report to the same location on Monday, March 1 at the same time as their originally scheduled appointment.”
“We have been patient, but it is time to hold people accountable for this delay,” Arnone said. “The county will do whatever it takes to administer vaccines to our resident, but we cannot if vaccines are not distributed to us!”
“Everyone that had an appointment scheduled for Wednesday, Feb. 17, Thursday, Feb. 18, Friday, Feb. 19 or Saturday, Feb. 20 of this week will be contacted next week to be rescheduled,” Kiley said. “For everyone who was scheduled for a second dose, it is important to note that the second dose can be administered any time between 28 and 42 days after the first dose.”
