“While the high amount of cases is concerning, we can find a bit of comforting in knowing that we have vaccines and boosters to help protect us,” said Commissioner Director Louis Cappelli, Jr. “We know that vaccinated people have a much better chance of avoiding serious illness and death than those who are unvaccinated. And boosters will only add to the protection the initial two doses give you. So please, if you haven’t done so already, get vaccinated and get your booster. You can make an appointment for your first or second dose or your booster shot at the Camden County Health Hub by visiting www.CamdenCountyVaccine.com.”
To date, 369,982 Camden County residents have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, while 325,462 are fully vaccinated and 94,974 have received a third dose. More information regarding vaccination rates throughout the county and available on the state’s COVID-19 dashboard at covid19.nj.gov.
The county Health Department is continuing to closely track new cases of COVID-19 and information regarding the prevalence of the Delta variant. New cases are often reassigned to other municipalities over the course of an investigation.
