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.

The Atlantic Health System operates some of the most highly regarded hospitals in New Jersey. And the company’s CEO, Brian Gragnolati, served a yearlong term as chairman of the American Hospital Association, perhaps a measure of that regard. Gragnolati now has overseen the system’s response to two waves of the COVID-19 pandemic and its participation in the state’s vaccination program.
For the latest edition of NJBIZ Conversations, Editor Jeff Kanige spoke with Gragnolati about how Atlantic was and is navigating the pandemic, the outlook for the next critical months and what the messaging should be about the vaccines.

Anderson is the president and chief executive officer of the New Jersey Redevelopment Authority the first and only African-American woman in the nation to lead an independent redevelopment financing agency, and thanks to her effectiveness she has been reappointed to this position by four consecutive governors. Since Anderson took over more than a decade ago, the authority has leveraged nearly $4 billion in new investments – including about $500 million in direct investments – in some of the state’s most economically distressed communities. That funding has been vital to redevelopment efforts around New Jersey, with the authority claiming credit for 15,000 new housing units and more than 10 million square feet of commercial and retail space. And the authority is now poised to play a significant role in the Opportunity Zone program. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, NJRA created the Small Business Lease-Emergency Assistance Grant Program
