As they look to expand vaccination sites, the Ocean County Health Department is making a call to the bullpen for some relief at the OCC Drive-Thru testing site.
Well, with an unknown amount of snow along with a wintry mix and some gusty winds barreling to the Jersey Shore Thursday, cancellations, postponements and rescheduling are almost unavoidable.
If you've been hoping for an easier way to ask health related questions, search for answers and get vaccine updates in Ocean County, that easier way has just arrived.
As the Ocean County Health Department receives an abundance of calls, they've added two more phone lines you can try calling if the first one doesn't work or is too busy.
You should be receiving an email from the Ocean County Health Department any day now requesting that you schedule an appointment to receive your 2nd vaccination of the Modera vaccine, which is what the OCHD is administering at their clinics.
There aren't just dozens and hundreds of people but thousands and thousands in Ocean County alone waiting to appointments to start opening up so they can go and get vaccinated especially since Governor Murphy made an announcement moving the state from Phase 1A to Phase 1B and including more qualifications.
Covid-19 cases continue to spike at uncomfortable rates but as the state continues to receive more doses of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines more people are able to receive that vaccination bringing us one day closer to an end of the pandemic.
Ocean County Health Officials have vaccinated more than 1,000 health care works in week two of Phase 1A and are now adding in more hours and days to continue that trend.
