Vice President Kamala Harris Visits New Jersey to Promote COVID Vaccination – Floridanewstimes.com

Newark, NJ (WABC)-New Jersey is taking noticeable enhancements on Friday, encouraging more residents to vaccinate with COVID.

Vice President Kamala Harris is traveling while the tri-state area prepares for the imminent expansion of the vaccine eligibility pool.

The Vice-President will go to the Vaccination Center at Essex County College on Friday afternoon to keep up with the latest efforts to get people vaccinated.

She also plans to visit Montclair State University to promote the President’s Early Childhood Education Program.

In the meantime, infants may be immediately eligible for the vaccine. Pfizer formally requested the FDA To approve the COVID-19 vaccine for children aged 5 to 11 years. The dose is one-third of the potency given to adults given in two injections.

A ruling is expected sometime between Halloween and Thanksgiving. This means that children in that age group can be shot within a few weeks.

This decision affects more than 28 million children nationwide.

In New Jersey, the governor says vaccines and boosters are encouraged as we head for the winter months.

“This will happen in some way. I don’t know how to avoid it. But I think running against it is a positive move against it. It’s a continuously high vaccination rate. It’s a booster. We need to work with the federal government again to make sure the message is clear. “

State school staff must be vaccinated or randomly tested by October 18.
