Hudson County View Gov. Phil Murphy (D) joined state Senator (D-33)/Union City Mayor Brian Stack, Hudson County Executive Tom DeGise, and other dignitaries, as seniors were among the first in the state to receive Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccinations this morning. “We witnessed Anna Marie [Flores] and five other folks get … among the first Johnson & Johnson vaccines and it was a moment of magic,” the governor said outside of the Union Plaza Apartments in Union City. “We cannot possibly overstate how much this vaccine is a game changer in our fight to protect residents, to save lives, and to defeat this virus,” Murphy continued, noting that the one-dose nature of the J&J vaccine “gives us greater agility” against the coronavirus.
