“It is becoming increasingly evident that some form of COVID-19 will be endemic in the United States for quite some time, but that doesn’t mean it has to continue taking lives,” said County Commissioner Director Louis Cappelli, Jr. “The vast majority of those suffering from COVID-19 right now are unvaccinated. The vaccines dramatically reduce the likelihood of infection, hospitalization, and COVID-19 related death. We can end the threat posed by this virus if everyone gets vaccinated.”
To date, 311,259 Camden County residents have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, while 282,260 are fully vaccinated. 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.
