State has administered only about 25% of its available COVID-19 vaccines.

Some 70% of available vaccines remain unused as more than 200 sites across NJ now offer it. Currently only frontline health care workers are authorized to receive the shots. The state is aiming to vaccinate 4.7 million people, or 70% of the population, within 6 months.
