Ocean County will be providing free transportation for seniors 60 and older as well as those with disabilities to be able to get to a vaccination clinic, through Ocean Ride.

“Many of our seniors and individuals with disabilities are already familiar with Ocean Ride, using it to get to health care and other appointments. We want to make getting a vaccine as convenient as possible and if a lack of transportation is what stands between our seniors and the disabled from getting that important shot, we want to remedy that," Ocean County Commissioner Director Gary Quinn said in a statement. “Once you have made an appointment to get your vaccine, contact Ocean Ride and we can set up the door to door transportation for you. Our drivers and the Ocean Ride staff are ready to help in this ongoing effort to reduce the spread of the coronavirus.”
