• Countries short on vaccine supplies can consider delaying giving people
their second dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, World Health
Organization experts said in interim guidance.

Africa, according to new data that is awaiting peer review.

found that more than half of coronavirus cases were spread by
people without symptoms.
• Moderna’s CEO said that the company’s vaccine is likely to provide
protection “for a couple of years.” A separate study said the human body
typically retains a robust immune response to the virus for at least eight
months after infection.

Phased Order of Priority
• The movement between vaccination eligibility phases will be fluid. One phase
may overlap with another.
• Not all individuals in each phase will be vaccinated before opening to additional
groups, and not all groups within a specific phase will be made eligible to receive
the vaccine at the same time.
• Once vaccine availability expands, vaccination will advance to Phase 1C and then
Phase 2.
13Vaccine Tracker – New Jersey
Phased Order of Priority
Phase 1C: will include other essential workers, adults 65 and over, and persons aged 16-64
with medical conditions that increase the risk for severe COVID-19 as defined by the CDC.
Following these phases, the general public (Phase 2) will be eligible for vaccination.
