Gov.
Phil Murphy, along with Department of Health Commissioner Judith Persichilli and
other elected officials, visited the Hudson County Office of Emergency
Management USS Juneau COVID-19 drive-thru vaccination site Tuesday morning in
Kearny.
The
appointment-based vaccine drive-thru site opened at 9 a.m. and serves the county.
The site has been open for nearly a month. Last Friday, over 1,100
people were vaccinated - the most since the site opened.
"We haven't provided the money in order to buy the supplies and we
haven't gotten the money for the infrastructure and the counties are
cooperating with the north or south, east or west they're cooperating, so we
need a national plan,” says Rep. Bill Pascrell.
Like
many other vaccination locations across the state, they struggle to supply the
demand.
