St. Joseph’s to Begin Phased Distribution of the COVID-19 Vaccine

St. Joseph’s is anticipating arrival of the first doses of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine later this week. Because initial supplies of the vaccine provided to New Jersey hospitals will be limited, there will be a Phased Distribution process among staff, beginning with clinical and support team members who have Direct Patient and Public-Facing Interactions. With the number of vaccines we expect to receive, we believe we will have sufficient supply to vaccinate all in this category over the course of the first few weeks.

As you know, the vaccine addresses two critical issues; first, it will help reduce the likelihood of getting severely-ill and needing to be admitted to the hospital, and second, it will also help to prevent continued wide-spread infection and therefore interrupt disease transmission.
