Phil Murphy and New Jersey Health Commissioner Judith Persichilli toured a COVID-19 vaccination center in Lakewood.
The
Chemed Health Center is located just off Route 9 on Madison Avenue.
The
governor was pleased to hear President Joe Biden announce that everyone who
wants the vaccine should be able to sign up by May 1, adding that is consistent
with what he and Persichilli expect in New Jersey as well.
Over
20,000 vaccines have been given at the facility already and they're looking to
increase that number significantly as more doses become available.

With
Passover quickly approaching, the governor was presented with a box of matzah
after touring the vaccination tent. Before leaving, he talked of a significant
increase of vaccinations soon in the state, saying he expects another two to
three weeks of modest increases in vaccination supplies and then, in his words,
it’s going to explode.
