Residents who are over 65 or immunocompromised are encouraged to stay up-to-date on COVID-19 vaccinations, including receiving the updated bivalent COVID-19 booster when eligible.
COVID-19 vaccines remain free and available to everyone. Find locations offering COVID-19 vaccines and boosters on the *COVID-19 Vaccine Finder [ [link removed] ]* and *Community Calendar [ [link removed] ].* If symptoms appear, **get tested for COVID-19 [ [link removed] ]. **Testing is offered for free at *certain sites around New Jersey [ [link removed] ]. *In addition, until May 31st or while supplies last, every U.S. household is eligible to order up to four free at-home test kits at* www.covid.gov/tests [ [link removed] ].*
