Hopefully, word will spread and many will be able to take advantage of this great, local opportunity. I remember when the vaccine just became available a few months ago, and it was a mad dash to get an appointment. It reminded me of trying to score the best seats for a concert years ago, waiting online or calling early to get tickets. You had to be relentless (and lucky), and hopefully, it paid off. I did my best to help as many of my family and friends get appointments as I could (probably close to 100).

West Windsor Township is also helping those who can't leave their home to get vaccinated, and those who aren't tech savvy to secure an appointment. Click here for details.
