Gov. Murphy pleads with the feds: Send more COVID vaccine
Gov. Phil Murphy says the waiting times to get a coronavirus vaccine are a result of one thing: lack of enough vaccines.
“We know that there is pent-up demand and that getting an appointment may be proving challenging,” Murphy said Tuesday. “All that we are currently missing are the doses of vaccines necessary for us to put this machinery into high gear.
Murphy said he does not regret opening up vaccines to more than 4 million additional residents after initially making them available to frontline healthcare workers and nursing homes but he said that the expectations explicitly were for significantly more doses of vaccine to come to New Jersey.
