Call it a soft opening. The long-awaited rollout of a vaccine to prevent COVID-19 starts Tuesday morning in New Jersey, as health care workers at University Hospital in Newark roll up their sleeves for the shots.
A shipment of 76,050 doses from Pfizer was on its way to the state Sunday, headed for six hospitals. Their freezers are chilled to South Pole-level temperatures. Their priority staff those considered at the greatest risk of exposure to COVID-19 have been identified. The plans are ready.
“Six weeks from now we will have been able to … get to all of our health care workers with two doses,” as required by the vaccines developed by Pfizer and Moderna, Gov. Phil Murphy predicted Friday.
