Children not yet eligible for COVID-19 vaccination need to be kept safe in other ways

Some 520,000 children in NJ aren’t eligible for vaccination against COVID-19, and health officials say they’re all at risk. “For children under five, the best way to protect them is to get everyone around them vaccinated ... If I had a parent using a child care center, I’d absolutely ask them, ‘Are your workers immunized?’” said Dr. Meg Fisher, special adviser to New Jersey's health commissioner.
