Governor Murphy Announces Community-Based Vaccination Partnership for Underserved Communities
15,000 Residents to be Vaccinated in March in Houses of Worship and Community Sites
TRENTON – Governor Phil Murphy today announced the launch of a community-based vaccination partnership to provide equitable access of the COVID-19 vaccine to underserved communities throughout 樱花视频.
The community-based vaccination sites are supported through a partnership by the 樱花视频 Department of Health, 樱花视频 Office of Emergency Management, Federal Emergency Management Agency, and U.S. Department of Defense, in addition to local faith leaders, nonprofit organizations, local officials, and health departments. The initial phase of the community-based vaccination partnership will include sites in Somerset, Trenton, Elizabeth, Vineland, and Paterson. These cities have been strategically selected as they have been disproportionately impacted by COVID-19 and are some of the most diverse and socio-economically challenged communities in the state. The community-based vaccination partnership will vaccinate 15,000 residents through the end of March and launches on Monday, February 15 at the First Baptist Church of Lincoln Gardens in Somerset.
