The State of New Jersey is working hard to provide COVID-19 vaccinations to all front line healthcare workers. The NJ State Department of Heath has identified dental hygienists as 1A health providers and, as essential employees, are eligible to receive the vaccine as it is offered. The New Jersey Dental Hygienists' Association is searching for information on when and where each county is providing vaccinations and how you can register for yours.
 
To date we are aware of only 3 counties setting up appointments to be vaccinated. Those are Bergen, Essex and Ocean Counties. Links are provided below for registration. As other counties arrange for vaccinations we will share the information.
 
Bergen County: BergenCovidVaccine.org
 
Essex County: EssexCOVID.org

NJ Governor Murphy reports:  Six acute care hospitals across the state— AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center, Cooper University Hospital, Hackensack University Medical Center, Morristown Medical Center, Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital and University Hospital— are receiving doses this week of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine. By the end of the week, vaccines should be available at an additional 47 acute care hospitals that can manage the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, which requires ultra-cold chain storage. While acute care hospitals will be the only points of dispensing during the first week of vaccine availability, the network will expand to additional sites like Federally Qualified Health Centers, local health departments, county sites, urgent care clinics, and pharmacies in December, pending vaccine availability.

Comprehensive Oral health care remains out of reach for millions of people in the United States. This is particularly true for those with low incomes, those in rural communities and those in communities of color. Some progress has been made in improving oral health for younger children, but adults who lack economic opportunity, affordable housing, healthful food options, access to sufficient health insurance or enough financial resources, struggle with significant barriers to receiving timely and quality dental care. The lack of access to routine care can lead to serious dental disease and is tied to several chronic illnesses, including diabetes, heart disease and stroke. What will it take to improve access and quality of oral care for Americans, especially for the most vulnerable?​ Click Here to watch the video!
