One year after the start of the pandemic, over 2.8 million New Jersey residents have received the coronavirus vaccine as the state continues a widespread rollout in which the demand for vaccine appointments still greatly outweighs the current supply of shots.
Teachers and daycare workers were recently added to the list of eligible vaccine recipients alongside healthcare professionals, first responders, people over the age of 65, and those with chronic health conditions.
New Jersey health officials initially announced educators and day care workers would be eligible March 15, but quietly changed that to immediate eligibility at some point last week.
