“Case counts have continued to surge for the last few weeks and we’re pulling out all of the stops to make sure every Camden County resident remains safe and healthy,” said Commissioner Director Louis Cappelli, Jr. “We have expanded testing sites across the county to keep up with the high demand, but I want to reemphasize the importance of getting vaccinated and getting a booster shot. We’ve seen it time and time again, those who are vaccinated are much less likely to become severely ill and die from this virus. So please, if you haven’t yet, 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.”
