This Week's NJ COVID-19 Updates
Do you have questions about when and where you can receive the COVID-19 vaccine, contact tracing, traveling to or from the State of New Jersey, or even finding a new job? The State of New Jersey offers up-to-date information, resources, and guidance at our COVID-19 Information Hub.
The COVID-19 Emergency Rental Assistance Program Phase II lottery application period remains open to help New Jerseyans pay their rent arrears or future rent. The program devotes approximately $353 million to rental assistance for low- and moderate-income households that have been financially impacted by the pandemic, including those who are homeless or at risk of homelessness.
In addition to the tenants themselves, landlords or advocates may apply on behalf of tenants, with the tenant’s permission.

As of April 13th, out of an abundance of caution, administration of the Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen vaccine has been paused and put on hold as the CDC and the FDA review the data involving the extremely rare adverse effects of blood clots that may be caused by this vaccine. The Federal Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) is holding a second emergency meeting today, Friday, April 23rd, streamed live, to make recommendations to the CDC on how to proceed. This article on the NJ COVID-19 Info Hub will be updated as new information becomes available.

As of this week:
- More than 6.3 million vaccine doses have been administered in New Jersey
- More than 3.9 million people have received at least one dose.
