If the Johnson and Johnson and Pfizer vaccines are made available in the future for Bespoke Health at the Ice Rink, the company would make those options available to the public when appointments are made.

Mayor Davis said, “The City of Bayonne has invited Bespoke Health to our community, in order to vaccinate more Bayonne residents and offer additional choices to local healthcare consumers.”  He continued, “We look forward to working with Bespoke Health to improve Bayonne’s vaccination rate at this crucial time.”
