I and extremely fortunate to be fully vaccinated. I received my second shot at the Atlantic City Vaccination Mega Site last month. I can't say enough again about the New Jersey National Guardsmen and women, the staff of AtlantiCare, and the Atlantic City Convention Center. Everything went so smoothly and was so well organized.
