The new booster deadline is April 11 or within three weeks of becoming eligible, whichever is later, according to a March 2 news release from Gov. Phil Murphy’s office.
“Over the course of our COVID-19 response, we have always followed the science in decision-making, and this is no different,” Mr. Murphy said in the release.
