All Walmart and Sam's Club store locations across the state — nearly 70 of them — now are administering COVID-19 vaccines to those who are 65 and older, the company confirmed on Thursday, based on supply availability.

That's double the amount of locations that had been offering the Moderna vaccine as of two weeks ago.

Appointments can be made for eligible individuals either by calling a local Walmart or Sam’s Club pharmacy or the New Jersey Senior Hotline at 856-249-7007.

In between the staggered levels of eligibility rolled out since December, state health officials have begun a special effort to vaccinate New Jerseyans 65 and older, state health commissioner Judith Persichilli saidd at the March 17 state pandemic briefing.

As of Thursday, 3.72 million vaccine doses had been administered statewide,Gov. Phil Murphy announced via Twitter, with 1.32 million New Jerseyans fully vaccinated.

Of those who now have received at least one vaccine shot in-state, 30% were between the ages of 65 and 79, while another 10% were 80 and older, according to state data reported online.

The concentrated push to vaccinate older residents, roughly a year into the pandemic, as vaccine supply has been slowly ramping up was directly linked to their vulnerability, Persichilli previously said.

Residents 80 and older accounted for 47% of the state's COVID-19 deaths — or 11,412 individuals. Another 33% of confirmed deaths, or 7,987 people, were residents 65 and older, according to state data.

Target also announced earlier in March that it had partnered with CVS to offer COVID-19 vaccines at some of the chain's in-store pharmacies to those who are eligible, as supply allows.

"Vaccinations will be by appointment-only and we want to encourage eligible patients to use our online scheduling tool to find a location that is convenient for them to access," a Target spokesperson said, declining to detail which Target stores in state were added to the list of roughly 160 CVS locations in NJ administering shots.
