Dissapointed as a Frontline Health Care PROVIDER trying to get appointment for 2nd dose , the information that the Ocean County Health Department is providing is a recording of music . PATHETIC

Very disappointed in the covid vaccine appointment site. I've been trying all day, however, shows appointments are full. Please let us know if vaccines are low, help is low, or appointments are really booked. I walked in to get some answers.....there was only 1 other person entering during the whole time I was speaking with a gentlemen. Please try to keep us more informed.

Super friendly staff. Had no idea they ran two shelters in the county! I even ran into an old friend that now works there. They seemed very happy and everyone was having a good time. Definitely would recommend them based off what I experienced.
