Gov.
Phil Murphy visited Roosevelt Care Center in Old Bridge this morning, where the
elderly residents received their second COVID-19 vaccine doses.
State
Health Commissioner Judith Persichilli was on hand as long-term care residents and
staff at the center received their second doses.
“The
second dose brings your immunity up to 95%,” says Persichilli.
Persichilli
says for people who have registered for a vaccine, but do
not know when they can get one to remain patient as the state continues to rely
on the federal government for additional doses.
Persichilli
says New Jersey is expecting 100,000 doses a week for the next several weeks.
