ATLANTIC CITY – The Atlantic County COVID-19 Vaccination Megasite will expand its walk-in vaccination appointments to 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Sunday through Saturday, April 25-May 1. Walk-in vaccinations will be first come, first-served as vaccine supplies last. Those who have registered online and made an appointment through vaccination.atlanticare.org will be prioritized.

All residents aged 16 and older will be able to register for their vaccination on-site. A parent or guardian must accompany those under age 18.

Walk-in appointment availability is subject to change. Should individuals seeking a walk-in appointment during the designated times not secure one, the megasite team will make them an appointment for the following or another convenient day.

“We encourage all members of the community to get vaccinated,” AtlantiCare clinical facility manager Sherrie Bragg, MSN, RN said. “As we approach Mother’s and Father’s days, graduations and other spring and summer events and celebrations, being vaccinated and practicing other precautions are key to preventing spread of COVID. We prefer individuals schedule their appointment online. However, we are offering walk-in appointments as a convenience to our community.”

The megasite is located in the Atlantic City Convention Center, 1 Convention Blvd. Parking is free. The team offers special accommodations for those who have disabilities.
