COVID-19 Vaccine

So far 1.7 million people in New Jersey have received a third or booster dose, about 37% of those who are eligible, either due to higher COVID risk or because it has been six months or more since they gained "fully vaccinated" status.

During a Monday morning press conference, the city's Health Commissioner Dr. Cheryl Bettigole announced that the city will be requiring all patrons at bars and restaurants to show proof of COVID-19 vaccination.

"Today, CDC is strengthening its recommendation on booster doses for individuals who are 18 years and older," officials said.
