States — not the federal government — are dictating who receives the vaccines first.<\/p>\n

In New Jersey, the country’s second-richest gaming state behind Nevada, Atlantic City casino workers who are not in a priority group because of their own health factors must wait until the vaccine opens up to the general public.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
New Jersey has lagged neighboring states in getting the vaccine to people. Gov. Phil Murphy (D) this week blamed national pharmacy chains CVS and Walgreens, as well as the Trump administration.<\/p>\n
According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, New Jersey has administered 658,800 doses of the vaccine. The national public health institute says four percent of Garden State residents have received at least one dose.<\/p>\n
By comparison, New York has administered more than 1.8 million doses, or 4.5 percent of the population receiving their first shot.<\/p>\n

Nevada has administered 211,750 doses.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Live!
