Teacher Melissa Drinkard gets her vaccination at the AtlantiCare Vaccination Megasite at the Atlantic City Convention Center.

On Friday, the Atlantic County COVID-19 Vaccination Megasite announced that it will host a three-day mass scheduling event to book 31,000 first-dose appointments.

Online scheduling will open the following days and times:

  • Tuesday, March 30 at 3 p.m.
  • Thursday, April 1 at 6 p.m.
  • Saturday, April 3 at 9 a.m.

Community members wishing to be vaccinated at the Atlantic City Convention Center site should visit vaccination.atlanticare.org to create an account, unless they’ve already done so. They should use the same link to log into their account to participate in the scheduling events next week.

After all appointments have been filled through this event, weekly scheduling events at vaccination.atlanticare.org will pause. However, individuals can regularly log in to their accounts to check for additional appointments that might become available.

“We are pleased to be increasing the number of vaccination appointments to protect our community,” AtlantiCare Vaccination Megasite manager Sherrie Bragg, MSN, RN, said. “As of today we’ve delivered more than 129,000 doses at the site. We are grateful for the community’s continued patience and support as we work to curb the spread of COVID-19 in our community and to end the pandemic.”
