Village of Ridgewood

The Village of Ridgewood is holding a closed pod Covid 19 vaccine clinic on Wednesday. We have some spots available for those that fall under Phase 1a (see below). The clinic is for Ridgewood Residents and those who work in Ridgewood. Please email [email protected] for registration information.

Phase 1A includes healthcare personnel. In accordance with Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommendations published by CDC as guidance in the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, “healthcare personnel” are “paid and unpaid persons serving in health care settings who have the potential for direct or indirect exposure to patients or infectious materials.”
This includes any type of worker within a healthcare setting. Examples include, but are not limited to: • licensed healthcare professionals like doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and dentists • staff like receptionists, janitors, mortuary services, laboratory technicians • consultants, per diem, and contractors who are not directly employed by the facility • unpaid workers like health professional students, trainees, volunteers, and essential caregivers • community health workers, doulas, and public health professionals like Medical Reserve Corps • personnel with variable venues like EMS, paramedics, funeral staff, and autopsy workers • other paid or unpaid people who work in a healthcare setting, who may have direct or indirect contact with infectious persons or materials, and who cannot work from home
For COVID-19 vaccination, any venue where healthcare occurs is a healthcare setting. Examples include, but are not limited to: • Acute, pediatric, and behavioral health hospitals and ambulatory surgical centers • Health facilities like psychiatric facilities, Federally Qualified Health Centers, and rehabs • Clinic-based settings like urgent care clinics, dialysis centers, and family planning sites • Long-term care settings like nursing homes, assisted living facilities, group homes, and others • Occupational-based healthcare settings like health clinics within workplaces, shelters, jails, colleges and universities, and K-12 schools • Community-based healthcare settings like PACE and Adult Living Community Nursing • Home-based settings like hospice, home care, and visiting nurse services • Office-based healthcare settings like physician and dental offices • Public health settings like local health departments, LINCS agencies, harm reduction centers, and medicinal marijuana programs • Retail, independent, and institutional pharmacies • Other settings where healthcare is provided Phase 1A also includes residents of long-term care facilities.
