TRENTON, N.J. – Monmouth Courty’s Serena DiMaso (R-13) says New Jersey’s deadly slow vaccination pace isn’t a question of resources so much as a “lack of imagination” on the part of the governor himself. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that New Jersey has distributed only 48% of its allotted vaccine doses to date.
“The Murphy administration had months to devise a plan and the best they could do is a hodgepodge of convoluted websites that are impossible to navigate unless you’re an internet savvy millennial, and an ineffective prerecorded hotline,” said Assemblywoman DiMaso in a Friday statement. “Murphy needs to stop deflecting blame to the federal government and start taking some accountability by resolving the problems with the vaccine rollout.”
