COVID-19 Vaccination Update in Mendham Township

by mendhamtwprecreation＠lists.cit-e.net

In New Jersey, the Delta Variant now represents 100% of variants circulating. Given how transmissible the Delta Variant is, increasing the number of complete COVID-19 primary vaccination courses administered and boosters shots are going to be vital in reducing the spread of COVID-19 in the coming months. Last week, the NJ Department of Health Commissioner announced that as of October 17th, there were 545 adults hospitalized for COVID-19 in NJ, 78% of them were not fully vaccinated. While no vaccine works 100% of the time, COVID-19 vaccines continue to remain highly effective in protecting people against COVID-19 hospitalization and death. The below data was pulled from the NJ’s COVID-19 Dashboard<https://covid19.nj.gov/forms/datadashboard>. The chart shows Mendham Township’s COVID-19 Vaccination Progress as of Thursday, October 21st. At Least One Dose Vaccine Courses Complete Mendham Township Mendham Township Morris County Morris County All Ages: 62% All Ages: 57% 12 through 17: 39% 12 through 17: 35% 12 and over: 70% 12 and over: 64% 18 and over: 75% 18 and over: 68% 30 and over: 76% 30 and over: 70% 65 and over: 81% 65 and over: 72% Four weeks ago Four weeks ago All Ages: 60% All Ages: 56% 12 through 17: 38% 12 through 17: 34% 12 and over: 68% 12 and over: 63% 18 and over: 73% 18 and over: 67% 30 and over: 74% 30 and over: 69% 65 and over: 77% 65 and over: 70% As we prepare for the holidays, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released its 2021 Holiday Celebration Guidance<https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/daily-life-coping/holidays/celebr…>, which emphasizes the importance of being vaccinated in advance of the holiday season. The CDC recommends that those who aren’t fully vaccinated delay their travel plans until becoming fully vaccinated. To facilitate vaccination efforts, Mendham Township, the Mendham Township School District, and the Morris County Department of Health are in the process of planning a number of vaccination clinics in the Township for primary vaccination courses and booster doses. In the meantime, a complete list of NJ’s vaccination centers is available online at covid19.nj.gov/pages/finder<https://covid19.nj.gov/pages/finder> or by calling 1-855-568-0545.

Update on COVID-19 Vaccine Booster Doses

by mendhamtwprecreation＠lists.cit-e.net

More than 216,000 individuals who live, work, and study in New Jersey have received a Pfizer booster dose or third dose. Additionally, 55,944 individuals have received a Moderna third dose. As a reminder - you are currently eligible to receive a booster dose if it has been at least six months since you received your second dose of the Pfizer vaccine and you are:<https://covid19.nj.gov/faqs/nj-information/testing-and-treatment/who-should…> * An individual 18 or older and work or live in a high-risk setting. * An individual 18 - 64 with certain health conditions. * An individual 65 or older. * A long-term care resident. This past Thursday, a federal advisory committee to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) voted to recommend Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine booster dose, which consists of a 50-microgram dose - half the normal dose of the shot, to the same groups authorized to receive the Pfizer COVID-19 booster. The same panel voted unanimously on Friday to recommend Johnson & Johnson’s COVID-19 vaccine booster shot, in addition to exploring the idea of a “mix and match” approach with the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine and the mRNA vaccines made by Pfizer and Moderna. The FDA and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are expected to make final recommendations in the coming days and additional booster doses could be offered by early next week. As the holidays approach and as more and more people become eligible for booster doses, the state is expanding its vaccination capacity. No proof of a medical condition or a note from a medical provider is required for a third dose or booster dose. A complete list of NJ’s vaccination centers is available online at covid19.nj.gov/pages/finder<https://covid19.nj.gov/pages/finder>. Have a great week! Sarah Neibart Mayor, Mendham Township
