TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — Gov. Phil Murphy says the winter storm that brought snow, ice and frigid temperatures across the country this week has disrupted COVID-19 vaccine distribution in New Jersey. Murphy, a Democrat, said he has asked the facilities run by the state to extend hours because of the delay. The delayed shipments mean some vaccination appointments will likely have to be canceled and rescheduled, according to the governor, though some facilities may have enough shots on hand to keep up.
