During yesterday’s Hudson County Board of Commissioner meeting, O’Dea said that officials from the county and Jersey City had put in a request to use their armory, located at 678 Montgomery St., as a vaccination mega site.
To that end, Deputy County Administrator David Drumeler said they have been in discussions with the state to open two new pop-up vaccination sites in Jersey City, which should be open in about two weeks – though also said a mega site seems unlikely.
“Right now, they’re [the state] not in the position to open up any more mega sites with the vaccine being as low as it is,” he noted.
