This…is what our vaccine dose delivery system will have to ramp up to in order to get us to 70% by the end of June.

Senator Declan O’Scanlon

By Senator Declan O’Scanlon, Jr

Goals are endpoints. Missions are plans/strategies to achieve goals. Our “goal”, and it’s one we should shoot for, is to get 70% of the adult NJ population vaccinated by the end of June. We need to understand the mission we’ll need to accomplish to achieve our goal.
