There are more than 1,000 testing sites open across the state, and New Jersey is continuously working with partners at the local, county, and federal levels to expand accessibility.

It's especially important to get tested if you are feeling sick or have been in close contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19.

To get tested:

• Find testing sites near you, including their hours and testing requirements.
• Order a free at-home saliva test, shipped to your home at no cost.
• Order free rapid antigen tests, shipped to your home at no cost.

• Visit a free, public testing site, including mega testing sites in East Orange and Galloway.

COVID-19 vaccines are working well to prevent severe illness, hospitalization, and death. However, studies show that vaccination may become less effective over time, especially in preventing infection or milder illness. Booster doses provide necessary protection against waning immunity.

Booster shots are available for:

• Individuals 18+ two months after their one-dose Johnson & Johnson shot,
• Individuals 18+ five months after their last Pfizer or Moderna shot, or
• Individuals 12+ five months after their last Pfizer shot.

The emergence of the Omicron variant further emphasizes the importance of vaccination, boosters, and prevention efforts needed to protect against COVID-19.

Book your vaccination appointment today.

If you test positive for COVID-19, you should stay home and isolate for 5 days. If you have no symptoms or your symptoms are resolving after 5 days, you can leave your house but should continue to wear a mask around others for 5 additional days. If you have a fever, continue to stay home until your fever resolves.
