BOSTON Coronavirus vaccination sites across the Northeast ramped back up Tuesday after a two-day snowstorm that also shut down public transport, closed schools and stranded travelers with canceled flights.
Some officials said that since vaccine supplies were thin to begin with, they didn’t anticipate having big problems getting caught up on distribution after a day or two of canceled appointments.
In New Jersey, travelers at Newark Liberty International Airport on Tuesday described being forced to endure widespread disruptions. Keno Walter-White said he got stranded at the airport after his flight was canceled and bus and tram services were suspended.

The winter storm that battered New Jersey over the past two days didn’t turn out to be the giant monster that had been predicted by many meteorologists. But it still generated a significant amount of snow and sleet over northern and central counties, heavy rain down south, and fierce winds, coastal flooding and beach erosion along the Jersey Shore.
While it wasn’t close to being among the biggest December snowstorms ever to hit New Jersey, it did break two daily snowfall records in the state’s biggest city: Newark.
