Cape May County Vaccine Site Moves To Lower Township Next Month

LOWER TOWNSHIP, NJ — The COVID-19 vaccination site at the Avalon Community Center will move to Lower Township on May 17, the Cape May County Department of Health announced Friday.

The Avalon Community Center will serve as the county's vaccination site until Friday, May 14. The new clinic will then operate out of the Lower Cape May Regional High School's field house.

Anyone who is scheduled for a vaccine appointment beginning on May 17 will visit the site in Lower Township.

People who have received their first shot in Avalon and have their second shot fall past May 17 received notification about the change when they got their initial dose.

“We want to thank the Borough of Avalon and the many volunteers and staff members that made the operation work so well over the past months,” said Commissioner Jeff Pierson, liaison to the County’s Department of Health. “We are confident that operations will continue at the same high standard in Lower Township as we continue to provide anyone who wants a vaccine shot the opportunity to get one.”

Individuals who are not yet registered for the COVID-19 vaccine can sign up through the State's website. Read more: Cape May County COVID-19 Vaccine Update: Locations, Eligibility
