Seniors are among the most vulnerable to the ravages of COVID-19, a major reason the state opened a call center to help them get appointments for vaccinations. “And this is our most vulnerable population,” said Assemblywoman Holly Schepisi (R-Bergen), adding, “Meanwhile, you hear these stories about perfectly healthy people who are getting them because they’re a family member or they’re politically connected.”

Senior Correspondent Brenda Flanagan reports on concerns about seniors being shut out of timely access to vaccinations, and questions about the process and who’s monitoring it.
