Ocean County, New Jersey recently received a 3,400 dose weekly Moderna supply.
Then the Murphy Administration arbitrarily decided to pull back 400 of the doses. LD10 State Senator Jim Holzapfel and his colleagues Assemblymen Greg McGuckin and John Catalano vented their outrage on Wednesday.

“This is yet another example of how the Administration’s vaccine rollout plan has been a complete failure for our senior residents,” the legislators said in a joint statement. “It’s been one hurdle after another for our seniors who have endured the long wait for appointments, lack of supply and difficulty accessing mega sites. Now they must witness the Governor cutting 400 doses from the Ocean County Health Department’s supply, which are rightfully theirs. It’s more than wrong it’s playing God with people’s health.”
So far, there have been about 177,000 Ocean County residents vaccinated (with only 60,000 actually taking place in OC due to the lack of vaccine doses being given to the county) and about 3-million New Jersey residents overall, as of Tuesday morning March 16.
We are that much closer to reaching a number of vaccination goals which are key under Governor Phil Murphy s guidelines in reopening the economy to full and higher standards.
When that day comes, what will the summer of 2021 look like in Ocean County?

There have been approximately 177,000 vaccine doses, between first and second, given out so far to Ocean County residents but only about 60,000 actually took place in Ocean County, with many traveling out of the area to a Mega-Site to get vaccinated because Ocean County is not being given the adequate amount of doses needed.
Heading into this week, the State took 400 doses needed for the first shot from Ocean County out of a shipment of 3,400.
