Physicians and employees who handle COVID-19 cases or have a high level of patient interaction at Saint Peter’s University Hospital in New Brunswick have begun receiving Moderna’s coronavirus vaccine.
The hospital said in a Dec. 22 statement that all employees and doctors who want the shot eventually will be able to get it.
