Months after the coronavirus surged through the state s prison population, county jails in North Jersey are off to a slow start inoculating thousands of inmates and immigration detainees as supplies of the vaccine remain limited.
Officials in Bergen, Passaic and Morris counties this week said they re still in the planning stages of inoculations. The Essex and Hudson county jails have administered shots to eligible members of their populations, though so far they have reached only a fraction of their inmates and staffs. We have been very proactive, and we think it s important, Phil Alagia, the chief of staff for Essex County Executive Joseph DiVencenzo, said last week. It keeps our officers safe, and the people that get released ultimately go back to the community.
