So please, if you haven’t already, go 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, 372,423 Camden County residents have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, while 327,500 are fully vaccinated and 101,094 have received a third dose.
