Vaccine Prioritization and Allocation:

New Jersey intends to follow the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) framework and overarching definition for the broad outline of Phase 1A, Phase 1B, and Phase 1C.

• Phase 1A includes healthcare personnel, who are defined by the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) and published by CDC as guidance in the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report as “Paid and unpaid persons serving in health care settings who have the potential for direct or indirect exposure to patients or infectious materials.”
• Phase 1A also includes residents of long-term care settings, who are defined by the ACIP as “adults who reside in facilities that provide a range of services, including medical and personal care, to persons who are unable to live independently.”
• Phase 1B includes essential workers. This will be defined in early 2021.  Individuals 75 years and older are also included.
• Phase 1C includes adults 65+ and adults with high-risk medical conditions who possess risk factors for severe COVID-19 illness. This will be defined in early 2021. It will be informed by COVID-19 cases and outcomes data and recommendations of the NJDOH COVID-19 Professional Advisory Committee. Within those initial Phases, sub-population prioritization is anticipated given expectation of scarce vaccine availability at the onset and potential for supply shortages before vaccine manufacturing and distribution reaches scale. Further detail on the process is provided in Sections 4C (sub-group prioritization) and 7A (allocation).

New COVID-19 Travel Guidelines:

Governor Phil Murphy and the New Jersey Department of Health issued new COVID-19 travel guidance as of 4-5-2021. The restrictions follow updated travel recommendations released by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) earlier this month.

Given the increased risk of spreading COVID-19 for both residents who travel outside the state and for visitors into the state, New Jersey continues to strongly discourage unvaccinated individuals from engaging in non-essential interstate travel at this time. CDC recommends travel be deferred until individuals are fully vaccinated. An individual is considered fully vaccinated two weeks or more after receipt of the second dose in a two-dose series or two weeks or more after receipt of a single-dose vaccine. 

People who are fully vaccinated with an FDA-authorized vaccine and persons who clinically recovered from COVID-19 in the past three months who are traveling domestically within the United States do not need to be tested for COVID-19 before or after travel to New Jersey and do not need to self-quarantine upon return. The CDC still recommends that fully vaccinated persons arriving in the United States from abroad be tested for COVID-19 three to five days after return. 

Unvaccinated travelers and residents returning from any U.S. state or territory beyond the immediate region (New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and Delaware) should self-quarantine at their home, hotel, or other temporary lodging following Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommendations for unvaccinated people.

Summary of Travel Recommendations

All Travelers:   

• International travel:  negative test result or documentation of recovery required by the CDC to enter United States following air travel

• Self-monitor for symptoms during and after travel and self-isolate if symptoms develop

• Wear a mask over your nose and mouth when in public

• Avoid crowds and stay at least six feet from others

• Wash hands often or use hand sanitizer

Fully Vaccinated Travelers:

• Get tested three to five days after returning to the United States from international travel, but no quarantine following travel or test before travel (unless required by the destination) needed

• For domestic travel, no quarantine or test before or after travel needed

Travelers who Clinically Recovered from COVID-19 in past three months:

• No quarantine or pre- or post-travel test needed

Unvaccinated Travelers:

• Defer travel until fully vaccinated

• Before travel, get tested for COVID-19 with a viral test one to three days before the trip

• Get tested three to five days after travel

• Stay home and self-quarantine for a full seven days after travel, even if the post-travel test is negative. If not tested after travel, stay home and self-quarantine for 10 days after travel.
