New Jersey educators welcomed the news on Monday that they will finally be eligible for COVID-19 vaccines starting March 15, a move that Gov. Phil Murphy said should put all schools on track for reopening by the fall.
Educators and unions have clamored for the vaccines, with some saying they were reluctant to return to classrooms until they get them. Currently, about one-third of public school students are in all-remote districts, Murphy said Monday. As we continue to work toward seeing all of our students back in their schools, ensuring full access to vaccines for their educators is a big step to take, the Democrat said. It’s not a magic wand, it’s not the only step, but it is a big one.

The first thing Peter Davey remembers after being hospitalized for a severe brain injury is being deeply paranoid.
“I didn’t know where I was, or how I got there,” he said. “I couldn’t speak and I was terrified.”
On Sept. 5, 2019, Davey was admitted to Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital New Brunswick (RWJUH) after a hypoxic brain injury, which resulted in a lack of oxygen flow to the brain. Gaurav Gupta, associate professor and director of cerebrovascular and endovascular neurosurgery at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, did not think Davey would survive after the lifesaving surgery. If he did, Gupta couldn’t promise that he would be able to regain the ability to walk, talk, read or write.
