Over 60% Of Fair Haven Adults Are Fully Vaccinated Against COVID

FAIR HAVEN, NJ — Almost all of Fair Haven's seniors and over 60 percent of its adults are fully vaccinated against COVID-19, according to the most recent data released by the state. But Fair Haven still has work to do in order to get 70 percent of adults fully vaccinated, in line with state goals.

For the first time Monday, the New Jersey Department of Health released town-level data on COVID-19 vaccinations. The state's COVID-19 dashboard now reveals the percentage of all people, adults and seniors who have been partially or fully vaccinated in each city and town.

Here's the data in Fair Haven:

• Fair Haven population with at least one dose: 56 percent of all ages, 78 percent of adults (18 and older) and 92 percent of seniors (65 and older).
• Fair Haven population fully vaccinated: 43 percent of all ages, 61 percent of adults and 84 percent of seniors.

New Jersey set a goal to fully vaccinate 70 percent of adults — 4.7 million people — by the end of June. About 3.6 million people in New Jersey have been fully vaccinated as of Monday afternoon.

All people 16 and older are eligible for vaccination in New Jersey. Sixteen- and 17-year-olds remain eligible for only the Pfizer vaccine.
