Dr. Singh administers the Moderna vaccine to an employee. Mayor James Davis and Fire Chief Keith Weaver look on.
The first Moderna vaccine administered at Bayonne Medical Center on Dec. 22 marked the beginning of Phase 1A.
Phase 1 is for frontline workers and at-risk residents. Phase 1A includes hospital workers, paramedics, and long-term acute care workers and residents. Phase 1B includes office-based medical practices, police officers, firefighters, other frontline essential workers, and vulnerable members of the community. Phase 1C includes all other essential workers.
Bayonne Medical Center’s Chief Hospital Executive Dr. Vijay Singh said that vaccinating all frontline workers at the hospital will take two to three weeks. The general population will receive the vaccine as part of Phase 2.
