Several free COVID-19 testing and vaccine events are scheduled this week in response to an unprecedented surge of COVID-19 cases in Camden County.
The COVID-19 transmission rate in Camden County increased almost 1000% in the month of July, fueled in part by the highly contagious Delta variant and low vaccination rates. Anyone who has not yet been vaccinated is urged to do so as soon as possible. Free vaccine is available for anyone age 12 and older, regardless of insurance.
The following vaccination events will be held this week, and no appointment is necessary.
