The federal government is dropping certain
requirements to receive the booster shots, which will give more people a chance
to get their boosters before the holidays. Some are getting theirs before
Thanksgiving this week at clinics throughout New Jersey.
"The vaccine continues
to be showing tremendous power,” says Gov. Phil Murphy. “Greater than 99% of
those vaccinated overall remain virus free. But as we know from research, the
vaccines do begin to lose some effectiveness in some people over time.”
JFK Medical Center is one of the places you can get
the vaccine.
