Until a proposal to administer 100 million doses of the COVID-19 vaccine in the first 100 days of the Biden administration takes effect, it will be a long wait for those who want to get the COVID-19 vaccine.
The state opened up eligibility for the vaccine to include those who are over the age of 65 as well as any person 16 and older with underlying conditions. Healthcare workers, law enforcement personnel and residents of long term care facilities were already on the list.
About 4 million people in New Jersey are now eligible to get a vaccine but the state receives just 100,000 doses of the vaccine a week.
