With the rollout of the Coronavirus vaccine, thousands of people are looking to get their shots from anywhere they can. It won’t be long before you can walk into an urgent care clinic and just get the shot. That’s part of the plan for a walk-in clinic in Green Brook, NJ. This particular walk-in clinic in Green Brook NJ, however, still has to abide by federal guidelines for the distribution of the vaccine. Those guidelines and rules include all of the following.
Age Restrictions
Right now, clinics can only vaccinate medical personnel and people aged 65 and up. In a few weeks, that will change. Regardless of how old you are or what your profession is, you still will not be able to just walk into this urgent clinic, or any urgent clinic, and immediately get the shot. The vaccine doses are so limited in quantity still that appointments are required, even for walk-in and urgent care clinics.
Serious Health Conditions
Exceptions to the current established guidelines and rules for receiving the vaccine apply to people with major medical conditions. If you have a pacemaker, diabetes, cardiopulmonary problems, cancers, etc., you may be able to book an appointment with the clinic to get your vaccine shots. It may be tricky to do, considering that many phone lines and clinics are unable to answer the slough of calls they are getting, but keep trying. If you think a medical or health exception applies to you, contact Central Jersey Urgent Care Green Brook, via
