On January 5, 2021, the Director of the Division of Consumer Affairs issued

Administrative Order 2021-04 , which requires licensed health care providers who are authorized to administer vaccines to register and report to the NJIIS when administering a vaccine for COVID-19. Registered professional nurses and licensed practical nurses should read and familiarize themselves with the requirements of this order.

I'm not surprised that they will use their established vaccination tracking system to follow this important vaccine.  This is good info for nurses who don't routinely vaccinate.
