1:05Now PlayingNew Jersey will expand Covid-19 vaccination access to people 55 and over, those with intellectual and developmental disabilities and higher-education workers on April 5, Governor Phil Murphy announced.
The state also will be among three opening a Federal Emergency Management Agency mass vaccination center. The New Jersey site, opening in Newark on March 29, will operate for at least eight weeks, with capacity of 6,000 doses per day. It will target under-served communities in the state’s largest city, whose population is 50% Black and 36% Hispanic.
Murphy, 63, a first-term Democrat, joins governors across the country who are expanding eligibility as vaccine supply increases. The broader age pool includes him and his wife, Tammy, and both will make vaccine appointments, he said at a news conference at Kean University in Union.
“Next week we’re receiving 494,430 total doses -- that’s a nearly 20% increase week over week,” Murphy said. The state reported almost 6,000 new cases in the past 24 hours and for the fourth straight day had more than 2,000 Covid-19 hospital patients.
