Bergen New Bridge Medical Center, meanwhile, anticipates getting 1,000 doses of the Moderna vaccine within the next week, for health care workers who have not received the Pfizer vaccine through their employer or the federal vaccine program for long-term care facilities, administered through CVS and Walgreens.
In coordination with the state Department of Health, Bergen County will soon announce the designated registration process for category 1A health care workers to receive the vaccine.
A field hospital wing constructed by the Army Corps of Engineers with help from FEMA on the campus of Bergen New Bridge Medical Center will serve as the vaccine distribution site. The facility can handle over 300 vaccinations per day.

New Jersey residents are frequently waiting hours to get tested for the coronavirus and are often getting turned away at local clinics that have run dry of supplies as the state struggles to keep up with rising demand and control the surge of infections.
Governor Phil Murphy said more than 400 sites are providing testing across the state, which is performing an average of 50,000 tests a day. While it’s a huge increase from the virus’s first wave in the spring, New Jersey is still testing fewer people compared to New York, which has screened twice as many residents per capita. And this week, the number of administered tests actually decreased, according to data published by Johns Hopkins University.
