Each site will be state-run, according to officials. But with a goal of vaccinating as many as 2,400 residents a day at each location, the state will need help. And the counties are prepared to offer it, officials said.
“Together, we have been studying and addressing all of the plan work, logistics, needs etc. in preparation of being an approved site, said Gloucester County Freeholder Dan Christy.
State and county officials initially plan on using the sites to complete Phase 1A of the vaccine rollout. Last week, hospital systems administered the first doses of the Pfizer vaccine to a little over 2,000 healthcare workers. But there are about 650,000 healthcare workers in NJ, according to NJ Health Commissioner Judy Persichilli.
