(Trenton, NJ/77WABC)-There is promising news from NJ Gov. Phil Murphy for people frustrated as they await scarce Covid-19 vaccination appointments. In the short term, Governor Phil Murphy said Wednesday during his Covid-19 briefing that state residents can expect ” an incremental improvement” in shipments of Covid-19 during the coming weeks. However, by the last week of March into the first week of April, the Governor expects an “explosion” of Covid-19 vaccines from Johnson & Johnson, Moderna, and Pfizer.

“You’re going to have breakout supplies in April and May,” Murphy added based on Pres. Joe Biden’s announcement that every American who wants a Covid-19 dose will have one by May of this year.
