Coronavirus vaccines are available across New Jersey even as the distribution of the single-shot Johnson & Johnson COVID vaccine remains paused throughout the United States.
This means that the two-shot Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines are currently the only vaccines available to the public, and are replacing the Johnson & Johnson vaccine in all appointments for the foreseeable future.
