More COVID-19 Vaccination Clinics Coming To Atlantic County

ATLANTIC COUNTY, NJ — The Atlantic County Division of Public Health has announced COVID-19 vaccination clinics for Tuesday, Jan. 12 through Jan. 14 for individuals in Phase 1A, which now includes uniformed police and fire personnel in addition to frontline health care workers.

The Division of Public Health administered doses of the Moderna vaccine to about 725 individuals at its first clinics held this week at the Mays Landing campus of Atlantic Cape Community College.

“Everything ran very smoothly,” said County Executive Dennis Levinson. “I have received nothing but compliments about how well-organized and professionally managed our first clinics were. I am extremely proud of Public Health Officer Pat Diamond and her team as well as the many volunteers who are dedicating their time and talents to help protect our residents from this deadly virus.”

Appointments for the next clinics will be available between 9 a.m. and 2:45 p.m. each of the three days and can be made on the county’s website. Walk-ins will not be accepted. As more vaccine becomes available additional dates will be added.

The New Jersey Vaccination Scheduling System is now permitting residents to pre-register to receive the vaccine and to help determine which phase they may be included for vaccination. A link to the portal is also available on the county’s homepage.

The state has also identified the Atlantic City Convention Center as one of six mega sites in the state that will provide vaccinations. County health officials are currently working with state officials to prepare for its opening which the state anticipates could be before the end of January, according to the Atlantic County Division of Public Health.
