There are more people in East Orange, Orange and Irvington without access to transportation. There are also mobile clinics at food pantries, for example.

This
people in urban areas often have less transportation options, they often rely on bus or taxi service. There is a higher percent that can't afford to pay for transportation. i assume anyone is free to travel to the van's location
Stupid Original Post and I hope the OP comes back and admits it. By the way, when Essex county started the vaccines back in early 2021 you may recall that depending on the town you lived in you were required to get one's vaccination at certain site. For example: Maplewood > Sears Livingston; West Orange > former K-Mart Site. However, if one lived in some of the more urban towns like East Orange, Newark, etc. you can go anywhere. This brilliant strategy was due to knowing that some folks from those areas may work in other parts of NJ and should be allowed to get their vaccinations easier than most. Also it is quite well known that there is more resistance in the African-American communities to vaccines so the easier one makes it the better. SHEESH.
Da f%#k? The Essex County mobile covid vax van only goes to E.O., Orange and Irvington.
