“We are constantly engaging in the ongoing monitoring of health data. We have opened a daily dialogue with the Jersey City Health Department,” Superintendent of Schools Franklin Walker said prior to the public portion, also noting he wrote a letter to Gov. Phil Murphy on February 18th asking for school employees to vaccinated as soon as possible.
Mayor Steven M. Fulop is joining forces with Uber to announce a new agreement that will expand residents’ access to COVID-19 vaccinations with free Uber rides to and from Jersey City vaccination sites.
At the start of Phase 1B, which includes essential frontline workers and seniors 75 years old and over, the city will provide 12,000 free roundtrip rides to residents who will benefit most from avoiding crowded mass transit or may not otherwise have the means to travel.
“We’ve been successful in utilizing our community partnerships to create innovative solutions to meet various challenges exacerbated by this pandemic, and this latest joint venture with Uber will provide our seniors and frontline workers with free, safe, and direct access to lifesaving vaccinations,” said Mayor Fulop. “I’m extremely grateful for Uber’s generosity, which will ultimately encourage more people to get vaccinated early.”
