Healthcare workers and others that work in so-called "congregate settings" will not have to receive a second booster dose of COVID-19 vaccine to keep their jobs.
New Jersey hospitals, nursing homes and other healthcare centers can begin terminating employees who have not gotten their COVID-19 booster shots as of today.
Even as New Jersey seems to be coming out of this latest COVID outbreak powered by the omicron variant, many believe this latest wave is far from the last.
As Gov. Murphy and state health officials expressed optimism the omicron COVID wave was on its way out, they warned of continued dangers and announced the deaths of four children due to coronavirus since Christmas.
Even though state officials say they have been planning to administer COVID vaccine booster shots for months, they are sharing few details about how the process will work.
