Clip: 5/10/2021 | 3m 21sVideo has Closed Captions
The state has its work cut out to vaccinate 70% of eligible adults by the end of June.
NJ's massive final push to vaccinate 4.7 million people by July will take hundreds of thousands of doses per week. Other cities and states are offering everything from baseball game tickets to $100 savings bonds; in New Jersey, beers have been offered. Some health experts worry that paying people cash to get vaccinated could make COVID-19 vaccine skeptics even more distrustful.
