With new COVID-19 cases continuing to steadily decline, there has been a reduced demand for vaccinations and boosters.
As a result, beginning Tuesday, March 15, the Atlantic County Division of Public Health will modify its vaccination clinic schedule.
“We are encouraged by the decrease in COVID-19 cases but recognize the virus is still among us. We must now learn to live with it and that includes protecting ourselves with vaccinations and other measures,” said Kara Janson, Atlantic County acting Public Health Director.
The free vaccination and booster clinics will be available each Tuesday, 9 a.m. to noon in Northfield at 201 S. Shore Road and the first and third Tuesday of each month in Hammonton, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at 310 Bellevue Avenue.
Appointments are not necessary. Both sites offer the Johnson & Johnson and Moderna vaccines for residents 18 years old and older as well as the Pfizer vaccine for adults and children ages five and older. Those seeking booster shots should bring proof of prior vaccinations.
