| 18 Jan 2021 | 03:02 West Milford, N.J., resident Coty DeFreese takes a selfie while getting vaccinated on Jan. 7. Since states began expanding eligibility the week of Monday, Jan. 11, area residents have struggled to find available COVID-19 vaccination appointments. Photo provided. There are not enough COVID-19 doses across the Tri-State area to vaccinate those who are currently eligible. The shortage, combined with a lack of streamlined information regarding where and how to obtain a vaccine appointment, has left residents scrambling. The level of anxiety surrounding the lack of vaccines hearkens back to spring 2020’s grocery shortages, when residents were rolling up to stores at opening in hopes to find fresh meat, Lysol wipes, or a few rolls of toilet paper.
