Can New Jersey reach it's vaccination goal for a normal summer? About 168,000 New Jersey adults per week would need to receive a COVID-19 vaccination in order to reach the goal of vaccinating 70% of the adult population by Memorial Day. That's an average of 25,000 per day. While that sounds like a big number, it's actually is doable. The issue is not the capacity at vaccination sites around, it's the shortage of vaccine that is putting us behind. Gov. Phil Murphy has called the arrival of the single dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine a "game changer," but the next shipment of the J&J vaccine is not expected for another three weeks. As of today, New Jersey is only at about 18% of the goal of vaccinating 4.7 million residents.
