State’s vaccination strategy includes mega-sites, pop-up clinics, church-based events
From five mega-sites to local pop-up clinics and church-centered events, NJ health officials keep pushing COVID-19 jabs and boosters, though resistance is hardening among the 20%-25% who remain unvaccinated; about half of eligible residents have received a booster shot. The state expects a surge in vaccinations if Pfizer's vaccine for children in the 6-months through 5 years age range is approved.
