One year after the start of the pandemic, over 2.8 million New Jersey residents have received the coronavirus vaccine as the state continues a widespread rollout in which the demand for vaccine appointments still greatly outweighs the current supply of shots.
Teachers and daycare workers were recently added to the list of eligible vaccine recipients alongside healthcare professionals, first responders, people over the age of 65, and those with chronic health conditions.

The vaccination options in New Jersey are growing in number, not only in terms of how many residents are eligible but also in the availability of shots and the number of locations where they can become inoculated.
As of this week, tens of thousands of shots of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine were delivered to the state, making it the third vaccination option alongside the Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines widely available to the public.

Over 1.8 million New Jersey residents have so far received doses of the coronavirus vaccine since its rollout late last year, although this number may begin to rise at a more rapid pace as supply for the vaccine grows to meet overwhelming demand.
In the near future, the Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines will not be the only vaccines available to New Jerseyans. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced Wednesday that Johnson & Johnson’s single-shot COVID-19 vaccine meets the requirement for Emergency Use Authorization, and could be fully approved by the federal government within a few days.
