• Persons aged 65 and older 
• Persons aged 16 to 64 years old, who have at least one of the following chronic medical conditions that poses high-risk for severe COVID-19: 
  • Cancer

  • Sickle cell disease 
  • Type-2 diabetes

Anyone not currently in the expanded eligibility list will have the opportunity to sign up below to be notified when it will be your time to schedule your appointment. 

Camden County Vaccination Center is administering the Moderna Vaccine, which requires 2 doses 28 days apart.  The FDA has authorized the emergency use of the Moderna Vaccine to prevent COVID-19 in adults 18 years of age and older under the Emergency Use Authorization.  We cannot vaccinate persons younger than 18 years of age at the Camden County Vaccination Center. 

Vaccination Distribution: 

The N.J. Department of Health has developed phases for the distribution of all vaccines. In Phase 1, there are three priority groups in two broad categories (critical workers and vulnerable populations) allowed to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. When scheduling your appointment, you will be required to attest that you fall in the current authorized phase for COVID-19 vaccination.

• Phase 1a (healthcare workers, long-term care facility residents and certain individuals in Phase 1b)
• Phase 1b (front line essential workers and persons aged 75 years and up)  
• Phase 1c (all other essential workers and persons aged 65-74, persons with medical conditions that increase risk for severe COVID-19 disease) 
• Phase 2 (remainder of Phase 1 and other critical populations)

Location and Hours: 

• Camden County College, 200 College Dr, Blackwood, NJ 
• Papiano Gymnasium (Building 10 on Map, Use Parking Lot P10 & P14)

Scheduling Process Overview: 

You will be able to schedule an appointment using a smartphone or computer. Each patient will need their own MyCooper account in order to schedule their appointment. If you do not already have a MyCooper account you can easily create one online. Your second dose appointment will be scheduled at the center while you are receiving your first vaccination. 

IMPORTANT! Scheduling for the vaccine using the New Jersey Vaccination Scheduling System will not schedule you at the Camden County Vaccination Center at Camden County College. If you have registered through the New Jersey Vaccination Scheduling System (NJVSS), you MUST still schedule with Camden County to get your vaccination at the Camden County Vaccination Center at Camden County College.  

• Step 1:  Log in to or create your MyCooper account using your mobile device or computer.
• Step 2:  Schedule your vaccine appointment from your MyCooper account.
• Step 3:  eCheck-In is required to be completed prior to your appointment. This can be done up to 7 days prior to your appointment. 
• Step 4:  Arrive at location no earlier than 15 minutes prior to your appointment.
