The state has a list of participating pharmacies online.
This is the second straight year that Governor Phil Murphy’s administration has hosted a naloxone giveaway. Last year’s event was just one day, instead of three this year.
The number of participating pharmacies also nearly doubled from about 170 to 320 this year.
