NEW JERSEY—(77WABC)
Some residents in New Jersey are getting another line of defense from the coronavirus starting this weekend.
It’s been a busy Saturday for vaccination centers around New Jersey, a day after the CDC’s new guidance allowed for third doses of either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine for immunocompromised Americans.
In Essex County, more than 300 people received their third dose by noon at the Kmart site in West Orange, one of two locations, including Essex County College in Newark.
And even more are expected.
THIRD DOSE: If you have a compromised immune system, you can get your third dose of the COVID-19 vaccine at one of two locations in Essex County. #NJhttps://t.co/7nZ8Rnzcwr
