Camden County To Host 2nd Pop-Up Vaccine Clinic For Veterans

RUNNEMEDE, NJ — Camden County’s second pop-up coronavirus vaccination site for veterans will be held on March 27, officials announced on Monday.

The county can vaccinate up to 800 South Jersey veterans at the Harry Williams Community Center at the intersection of North Black Horse Pike and Broadway in Runnemede.

It is the same site that hosted a COVID-19 vaccination for veterans in January. Read more here: Pop-Up COVID Vaccine Site To Serve 588 Veterans Saturday

Vaccinations will be available by appointment only between 7:45 a.m. and 2:15 p.m. Eligible veterans can call 215-823-4014 to make an appointment until all available slots have been filled.

Only veterans who are at least 55 years old and are enrolled for VA benefits will be eligible. No spouses or relatives of veterans will be eligible.

“Last month’s pop-up vaccination clinic was incredibly successful and got vaccines into the arms of roughly 590 area veterans,” Camden County Commissioner Melinda Kane, liaison to the Office of Veterans Affairs, said. “We are extremely thankful for our partners at the VA for making it possible to provide a second round of appointments and to continue providing these services to men and women who served their country. As our community gets closer to returning to a pre-pandemic state, getting these heroes protected is vitally important.”

No one without an appointment will be administered a vaccine. While future pop-up vaccination sites are possible, no appointments are currently being scheduled outside of March 27.
