“As we enter a new school year, we continue to see case counts at elevated levels and our transmission rate is higher than this same time last year,” said Commissioner Director Louis Cappelli, Jr. “Unlike last year, we have the tools to reverse this trend. If everyone gets vaccinated, we can end this surge in cases and put this pandemic behind us. Don’t wait any longer, get your shot before it’s too late.”

To date, 329,285 Camden County residents have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, while 297,046 are fully vaccinated. More information regarding vaccination rates throughout the county and available on the state’s COVID-19 dashboard at covid19.nj.gov.
