Morris County Leads N.J. in Fully Vaccinated Residents 65 and Older

Federal and state data shows that Morris County has the highest number of COVID-19 vaccinated seniors in New Jersey per capita, reports the Morristown Daily Record . Since inoculation efforts began in January, 67 percent of county residents 65 and older have been fully vaccinated. "We are about two weeks away in Morris County from meeting the state goal of getting the equivalent of 75 percent of our population with at least their first shot," said Morris County Commissioner John Krickus. Qualifying Morris County residents can get a vaccine at the mega-site in Rockaway, three ShopRite outlets, and the Riverside Medical Group Urgent Care Center in Ledgewood. More than 250,000 county residents have received at least one dose of the vaccine, and more than 179,000 are fully inoculated. Morris County has provided 415 vaccines to residents in senior care, behavioral health clients, and child care workers to date.
