Medical workers, and nursing home patients. Everyone I know who is a medical worker has had the chance to get it so far which is over 40 people, as well as health department workers I know. Obviously not every medical worker has but we have tons of medical workers in this state. Florida is not doing medical workers as of now. I am not disputing any of the data you just provided.
OT: Vaccine

Don't believe that is up to date. Jersey has vaccinated over 200K.
The ones that pushed for all remote should not be ones of the first in line to get the vaccine. Them going into work has been non-essential
Well who the heck told you to travel for the holidays?
Hahaha I'M KIDDING 🤣 🤣
Parents in Mount Olive were told over 100 teachers would take a leave of absence if they had to go teach in person. So all the kids are learning remote. My son is dying to get back to school . He has told us a few times he is distracted being home. This is a 14 year old who knows what is better when it comes to learning and how much it hurts kids than the lazy , good for nothing teachers do. AND they only do 4 hours per day.
There are plenty of young teachers looking for jobs. Let the others take a leave of absence since there are plenty of others ready and willing to work.
I don’t see how Florida would be behind NJ in terms % of population getting the vaccine since Florida has used a higher % of the vaccine given to them. Florida has 10m more in population. Seems that maybe NJ is getting a higher % of vaccines based on population and holding back a higher % of the vaccine they get, This is what the data is really saying.
We got back and after 1 day of quarantine my wife goes
"Seriously, the trip wasn't even worth it."
We were visiting her parents and sister.
My daughter teaches HS in North Jersey and her boyfriend teaches middle school in North Jersey. Both districts are hybrid meaning teachers are teaching in person every day but there are two cohorts of students that alternate in person and remote. At the end of August it was reported that 400+ of the ~600 school districts in NJ were going hybrid. I know that number has probably decreased but I bet it’s still more than half.
All of this bickering over teachers not wanting to go in is moot.
I was saying offer vaccine to all teachers and students. After getting the vaccine, no real reason against schools being in-person.
Any prior arguments by teachers or unions would go away since all in the school would be vaccinated.

Just to summarize some facts and add some more.
Florida was the first and only state to not follow CDC guidelines and vaccinate seniors over 65 in the first group.
After amazing pressure from NYC (DeBlasio), NYS has changed its mind, and tomorrow, NY will join Florida and start inoculating people over 65.
I live in California and am over 75. Our Public Health Department said yesterday that it will be 5 to 10 weeks before our age group will be eligible for vaccination.
Anyone know when over 75s are projected to get vaccinated in NJ?

I believe NJ over 75s are 1A and start this coming week. 65-74 will have a while to wait.
Thanks for the answer, Koleszar. Good to learn more.
Question, are you in the health profession or taking the initiative to stay on top of all the info?
To my point in my original post regarding once everyone who wants to receive the vaccine has had that chance, this will essentially leave the non vaccinated by choice and hence willing to take the risk of having a much higher probability by magnitudes of passing between themselves. I see too much hate for people who choose not to be vaccinated, being called “selfish”, but there are many reasons why someone would decide not to (allergies etc). In my opinion no one should be forced. Even if everyone was vaccinated there’s still a chance to contract, so there’s never %0 probability.
75 and older are 1B in NJ, date for vaccine pending

You can just take a leave of action without approval in your district? You do that without pay and benefits correct?
The district caved in and they are learning remote so the teachers didn't have to take a leave of absence . I guess it would have been like a strike if the district didn't bend to their demands.
right now ny and nj are real shyt shows when it comes to the vaccinations--it's a disgrace that for weeks shots are sitting on a shelf somewhere---and it's a disgrace elsewhere when 23 million dosages distributed nationwide and only about 7 million used
Vaccines aren’t even approved for those under 16
Shots aren’t really sitting for weeks though. There were only 12mil doses delivered by the end of the year, so if you remove the doses that are set aside for nursing homes, we’re probably close to going through all of those doses. We need to keep up though so that doesn’t happen. A ton of doses were delivered last week....good thing is that a lot of the states are starting to go into overdrive, we’ll see if we can keep up.
No!!!!
Boooooo!!!
We can't handle another 14 day quarantine from daycare!! Hahaha.
Wait, serious question:
if this is true then how are schools going to be back to full in-person if 80% of the people in the school aren't vaccinated?
Even once all teachers vaccinated it seems could still be an issue if students are not vaccinated?

I was responding to the poster who said all kids should get it first because of school
I believe that NJ is moving to 1B this week { e.g First Responders, etc} . At least for Middlesex County that I saw.
sorry
you are wrong as of TODAY 25,480,725 dosages distributed only 8,987,322 injected--a week ago the dosages distributed was 17 mill-obviously there are even dosages from weeks ago not yet used
All I was saying is that the 12mil doses we had at year end are almost all used. It’s only been a week and a half since then, so don’t think you can say doses have been sitting for weeks. We’ve only been vaccinating people for 3 weeks, so I think there is some exaggeration there. But like I said, we have a ton more doses that have been delivered since then, if we don’t pick up the pace then they will sit for weeks. I highly doubt that will happen though.
my daughter got her first shot 12/16 and I think others even sooner-millions of dosages were available way before end of year--like I said only about 9 million as of today innoculated--clearly dosages are not getting out efficently and on the "shelf"--in fact all those great politicians in NJ /NY had weeks before December to set up sites--they brag now but they did a crappy job---like the testing this will all pick up ,we hope, but a crap job has been done---what I do understand is that ultimatums now are being given at some hospitals to take shot or by end of week they're going to others (1b) and you have missed your opportunity
N.J. to open 6 COVID-19 vaccine ‘mega-sites.’ Here’s the list of locations.
Gov. Phil Murphy said the New Jersey is also working to open more than 200 satellite vaccination sites.
mega sites 24/7 2,400 shot a day at each location 100 shots a hour, I believe NY is planning same type of centers

NYC was supposed to open a couple today. With 2 months or more to plan, actually 4 months based on preliminary results, this should have been done quicker. It's not like the spring when there was essentially no advanced notice.
