COVID-19 Vaccines

The people who got the first coronavirus vaccine shots in the US are now getting their second doses, required for maximum protection.

Pennsylvania Health Secretary Rachel Levine and Gov. Tom Wolf on Friday issued an updated vaccination plan for the state.

The study was preliminary and did not look at the two other major vaccines being used in the West — Moderna’s and AstraZeneca’s.

The 2-day mass-vaccination site is for health workers unassociated with hospitals. The hope is to even out the racial distribution of vaccine recipients.

After a glow of hope when the first coronavirus vaccines were approved last month, the nation's inoculation campaign has gotten off to a slow start.

The Morris County site, in a former Sears store, will begin by giving shots to about 1,000 people per day. A Gloucester County site also opened Friday.

When you sign up, you’ll get an alert as soon as your “phase” is eligible for inoculation.

New Jersey officials have announced the start of the next phase of vaccinations against the coronavirus with police and fire professionals.

Phase 1A health care workers who live or work in Montgomery County were inoculated by appointment only at the community college in Blue Bell.

About 100 emergency medical workers have gotten a dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. But about half offered the vaccine have declined, officials said.

The new COVID-19 relief package has funding for vaccine distribution but the money hasn’t arrived yet.

Coronavirus vaccines are reaching more long-term facilities, but many worry they won't come soon enough to stave off more deaths.

Frontline health workers in N.J. receive their second shot of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine this week.

Gov. Murphy praised the state for administering 101,417 vaccinations by Monday, but that is just a fraction of the roughly 400,000 doses sent to New Jersey.

“What we need to do now is to continue all the mitigation efforts … stay at home, do not participate in large or small gatherings,” Levine said.
