The Mega-Site has implemented the use of a second building for seniors, so they do not have to wait in line. Seniors are now able to receive their vaccine at the Business and Corporate Center on the campus of Rowan College of South Jersey.

The Gloucester County Mega Site is now accepting walk-ins. Seniors do not have to be scheduled to receive the vaccine. Anyone 16 years old and older can show up to the Gloucester County Mega Site anytime between 8 a.m. and noon, and 2 p.m. and 6 p.m.
