Important and urgent update from Inspira Health regarding COVID Vaccine status
COVID-19 Vaccine FAQs
What is the current landscape on vaccinations?
There has been an overwhelming response to COVID-19 vaccinations across the country from eligible members of the community, and vaccine supply is incredibly limited. Unfortunately, Inspira Health – like many other hospitals in the country – currently finds itself with more appointments than vaccines. To honor those appointments, it is necessary for us to reschedule first dose appointments and fulfill our existing appointments for second doses.
Effective this Saturday, January 23, Inspira is rescheduling all confirmed appointments for first doses of the COVID-19 vaccine at our hospital distribution sites in Mullica Hill and Vineland; those appointments will be rescheduled once we receive additional supply of the vaccine. Inspira will reach out to patients directly to be rescheduled in the chronological order in which they were originally scheduled, beginning January 23. In addition, we have recommended registering through the NJVSS should they have appointment availability prior to Inspira.
Why is my appointment getting rescheduled?

We truly regret the distress and frustration that this news brings to our community. Be assured that Inspira will notify everyone as soon as we can guarantee that we have enough supply to provide both first and second doses at our vaccine distribution centers.
When will my appointment be rescheduled?
Inspira will be working closely with all partners to obtain information on vaccine supply. Be assured that Inspira will notify everyone as soon as we can guarantee that we have enough supply to provide both first and second doses at our vaccine distribution centers. We have also recommended registering on the NJVSS website as well, should they have appointment availability prior to Inspira.
Is there another place I can get a vaccine outside of Inspira?
We have recommended registering on the NJVSS website as well, should they have appointment availability prior to Inspira. Otherwise, be assured that Inspira will notify everyone as soon as we can guarantee that we have enough supply to provide both first and second doses at our vaccine distribution centers. We will reach out to patients directly to be rescheduled in the chronological order in which they were originally scheduled, beginning January 23.
