No New COVID Cases Reported In Parsippany

PARSIPPANY, NJ — While some of Morris County's smaller towns have accomplished the feat, a certain pandemic feat arguably means something different when the county's most populous town does it. Parsippany reported no new COVID-19 cases Wednesday.

Officials have reported 4,246 cases in the township since the pandemic began. But new cases are slowing down locally, county-wide and in New Jersey. Parsippany's case total has only increased by six since May 28.

Seventy-three percent of Parsippany's adults have been fully vaccinated against the virus, according to the New Jersey Department of Health. For comparison, 72 percent of eligible New Jerseyans have received at least one dose — sixth among all states. New Jersey is still working to reach 70 percent of adults fully vaccinated.

Here are Parsippany's vaccine numbers as of Thursday afternoon:

• Population with at least one dose: 70 percent of all ages, 83 percent of adults (18 and older) and 96 percent of seniors (65 and older).
• Population fully vaccinated: 60 percent of all ages, 73 percent of adults and 89 percent of seniors.

People 12 and older are eligible for the Pfizer vaccines. The Moderna and Johnson & Johnson shots are available for people 18 and older.
