The City hopes to provide immediate access for residents and essential employees. The 6 Point of Distribution {POD} sites will be located in various areas throughout the city to ensure residents have convenient access to the vaccines.

The press release stated, “With little funding and limited guidance being provided at this time for establishing vaccination locations, the City of Jersey City is moving forward on a $2 million allocation to establish the POD sites at the next council meeting so that, in the case the state doesn’t provide resources, our city residents will still have resources.”

“We need to have a contingency plan in place to avoid any delays in making these critical vaccines available in the case that the state or federal government doesn’t provide resources. We feel that it is important to take the same approach as we did with testing, that we will use city dollars to get a program running and then fight to get the reimbursement later,” said Mayor Fulop. “As we saw when we took the initiative and became the first to offer city-run testing, we are finding ourselves in a similar situation with the vaccine rollout.”

An emergency resolution will go before the City Council during tonight’s meeting to award a contract to Fixtech Medical USA, Inc. to build out the POD sites.

It continued, “We’ve been anticipating the arrival of a vaccine for several months, and now that it is almost here, we want to be sure our operations can start immediately while remaining efficient and organized so that we can maximize distribution of immunizations and boosters accordingly,” said Stacey Flanagan, Director of HHS. “Originally, testing was the most effective deterrent we had to work with, and we were aggressive in establishing and expanding testing citywide. We will follow similarly with the vaccines.”
