One county in New Jersey is urging high school and college seniors to get vaccinated against the novel coronavirus ahead of in-person graduation ceremonies.

We are grateful for the fast work of our county professionals who organized this important initiative in just a few days, Morris County Commissioner Director Stephen Shaw said. I also want to recognize the extensive expertise Atlantic Health System staff are bringing to the program as they insert appointments for these young men and women into the intricate operations at the busy vaccination center.

ROCKAWAY The Morris County vaccine mega-site has increased its number of inoculations per day and administered its 100,000th dose this week to a Morris County schoolteacher.
The site, housed in the former Sears store at the Rockaway Townsquare mall, can now vaccinate up to 3,500 people per day, seven days a week. On Tuesday the site, which opened in January, reached the 100,000 milestone. We know many people are still patiently waiting, but we are making great strides and we will get to them,” said Morris County Commissioner Douglas Cabana.
Susan Henry, a Morris County resident and teacher, received the milestone dose, being vaccinated along with her husband, Paul Henry, also a teacher. Last month, Gov. Phil Murphy announced the site would administer up to 2,400 vaccinations a day at its full capacity but increased the limit this week.
