With more New Jerseyans eligible for the vaccine - and everyone over 16 on deck later this month - getting an appointment could become more difficult.
But there are some New Jersey residents who are helping others to get appointments, many for people who they don’t even know.
“I couldn’t get it. I tried, I really tried – at all hours. That’s the way it was,” says Linda Glassmith, of West Orange.
Independent as she is, the 95-year-old says she was determined to book her own vaccination appointment by phone. But it was her daughter in Pennsylvania who eventually stayed up all night and got her one online at the Essex County vaccination site in West Orange.
