Camden Mayor Vic Carstarphen held a COVID-19 vaccine parade on Tuesday. Medical workers and a mobile unit traveled the city’s streets, knocking on doors and providing vaccines to people on the spot. The County Fire Department and the Camden High School Marching Band also joined in.
According to the mayor’s office, 59% of residents in the city age 18 and older have received at least one dose of the vaccine. But much like the rest of the state, Camden County is seeing a rise in the number of 18- to 29-year-olds testing positive for the virus. The mayor says bringing the vaccine right to residents’ doors is just one method he is using to push forward and dispel uncertainty about getting vaccinated.
