“As mask mandates are being repealed, it’s more important than ever to get vaccinated to protect yourself against serious illness from COVID-19,” said Commissioner Director Louis Cappelli Jr. “And if you’ve only received two doses of the vaccine, remember that you’re no longer considered up to date. All adults and children ages 12-17 are eligible for their first booster shots and adults over the age of 50 and those who are immunocompromised are now eligible for a fourth dose, which are all being administered at the Camden County Health Hub. So please, make an appointment 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 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Thursdays. This includes booster shots for ages 12-17.
To date, 412,622 Camden County residents have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, while 363,564 have received two doses and 204,553 have received a third dose.
