State officials rolled out New Jersey’s COVID-19 vaccination plan when one becomes available, designed to provide equitable access, achieve maximum community protection and build public trust in advance of an approved vaccine. New Jersey submitted its draft COVID-19 vaccination plan to the CDC on Oct. 16, with aspirations to vaccinate 70% of adults in the state. The initial allotment of vaccines to states is expected to be limited, with priority for healthcare workers, essential workers and vulnerable populations, including those 65 and older.

Phil Murphy. “(There is) cause for concern that the quality of medical care at these nursing homes has been deficient.” PoliticoNJ
