Moderna

There's a lot of information to consume and lots of mis-information to kick to the curb.

U.S. health officials just endorsed booster shots of Moderna's COVID-19 vaccine for some at-risk Americans.

In Ocean County, almost half of the nearly 619,000 residents have been vaccinated as of Thursday.

As a way to help encourage people to get vaccinated and most importantly help prevent further spread of the Covid-19 coronavirus, the Jersey Shore BlueClaws are the latest to offer incentives if you do so.

As the Ocean County Health Department continues to work on providing a mobile vaccination unit to bring vaccines to people including the homebound, a new solution should help bridge some of the concern with getting vaccinated.

So far, there have been about 177,000 Ocean County residents vaccinated.

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.

Monmouth County Prosecutor Chris Gramiccioni is urging caution during these times especially senior citizens and the elderly who are receiving legitimate sounding phone calls trying to convince them of a faux reality.

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.

More than 100,000 people have tried to make vaccination appointments on the Ocean County Health Department website this week.
