WATCH: Murphy, Gottheimer Visit Bergen COVID Vaccine Mega-Site

EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ — Gov. Phil Murphy will visit and inspect the Bergen County coronavirus vaccine mega-site at The Meadowlands on Friday morning.

Murphy will be joined by a number of local and state officials, including Rep. Josh Gottheimer, Sen. Bob Menendez, Bergen County Executive Jim Tedesco, East Rutherford Mayor Jeff Lahullier, New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority President and CEO Vincent Prieto and Hackensack Meridian Health CEO Bob Garrett.

The event will be livestreamed to the Governor's YouTube channel, which can be found here:

The mega-site was forced to close earlier this week after a vaccine supply shortage, Gov. Phil Murphy said Tuesday.

Officials resumed operations Wednesday, however, after they received "thousands" of doses in a Tuesday shipment. Hackensack Meridian Health officials told Patch that more than 700 appointments were scheduled for Wednesday, with thousands already set through the end of February.

Operations at The Meadowlands site have gone smoother than others around the state, as no appointments had to be rescheduled due to the closure, officials said.

Vaccination efforts began on Thursday and Friday of last week at the site, with doses administered in the hundreds. Officials expect the site can eventually reach 2,400 inoculations per day.
