ASBURY PARK - Tammy Murphy, wife of Gov. Phil Murphy, toured a vaccination clinic here Tuesday that has been on the front line of Asbury Park s battle against COVID-19, particularly in the quest to get the vaccine to communities of color.
The Visiting Nurse Association of Central Jersey, which operates the clinic at the Asbury Park Senior Center on Springwood Avenue, in the predominately Black west side of the city, has administered some 25,000 shots so far in Asbury Park. Across Monmouth County, they ve distributed 77,000 vaccines.
It has no plans to stop anytime soon, even as some vaccine sites have curtailed vaccine distributions in the face of diminished demand. The effort continued apace Tuesday, as people continued to come through the doors, seeking protection against a virus that has killed more than 23,000 people in New Jersey.
