Subject: Update on EMS Covid-19 Vaccination Plan


Please see below an update from OEMS Director Terry Clancy on the Covid Vaccination plan.  This is an evolving situation and as Terry states information will be distributed as it becomes available.
Last week a message was also sent by OEMS with links to the state's Vax Matters newsletter.

The newsletter can be viewed at https://www.state.nj.us/health/cd/topics/121120_Vax_Matters.pdf<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.state.nj.us%2Fhealth%2Fcd%2Ftopics%2F121120_Vax_Matters.pdf&data=04%7C01%7C%7Ccae9be8039ac4a37168208d8a05dfcec%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637435672819396649%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=FAA3LkR6EsnhZ01LpgE0fDcUBJF%2BLZLdOR7PSvqkcKo%3D&reserved=0>

Hello Barbara - As you know EMTs and Paramedics are in the 1A group.  The vaccine arriving into the state this week and in the coming weeks will target hospital and LTC staff via closed PODs.  After that time period and as more vaccine comes into the state and is available, providers will be able to visit urgent care centers, pharmacies, Federally Qualified Healthcare Centers (FQHCs) and local/county health departments to receive the vaccine.

There will be communications sent out as this evolves.  Providers can visit our website to stay up to date as well.  Hope this helps.
