All New Jerseyans age 16 and older will be eligible for COVID-19 vaccination beginning April 19, two weeks earlier than the state had originally planned, Gov. Phil Murphy announced today.
As of this morning, 1,796,798 New Jerseyans had been fully vaccinated, according to the state's data dashboard. The state' goal is to vaccinate 70 percent of its adult population – about 4.7 million people – by June 30, the governor said.
Effective today, the following additional groups are eligible to receive a vaccination:
• Individuals ages 55-64
• Individuals 16 and older with intellectual and developmental disabilities
• Higher education educators and staff
• Librarians and library staff
• Communications, IT and press
• Real estate, building and home service workers
• Retail financial institution workers
• Sanitation workers
• Laundry service workers
• Utility workers
