“Things seem to be moving in the right direction with COVID-19 here in Camden County,” said Commissioner Director Louis Cappelli, Jr. “The key part we need to improve on though is vaccinations and boosters. It’s crucial that folks who have two doses of the vaccine come back for that booster because it really does increase the level of protection. And for those who are not vaccinated yet, now is the time. These vaccines are safe, effective and readily available. Please, make an appointment for your first or second dose or your booster shot at the Camden County Health Hub by visiting www.CamdenCountyVaccine.com.”
Vaccine hours:
Operational hours at the Camden County Health Hub vaccine clinic run from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Thursdays. This includes booster shots for ages 12-17.
To date, 399,865 Camden County residents have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, while 346,404 have received two doses and 161,134 have received a third dose.
