They don't care about you here, or at the least, you have to fit a very certain mentality and personality for people here to care about you. When I started, I was told 'You will not fail, we will give you the tools to succeed ' I was excited. It’s imperative this is done correctly.The health department does not care about their employees especially shelter staff ( the unwanted step child of the county) you will be paid a disgrace of a wage and expected to work the job of multiple people because there’s never ample staff! There’s no incentive to being a loyal experienced hard working employee if anything you will be expected to carrry the entire load while the new hires (I promise you there will be many )do absolutely nothing all day! Management will not even know how bad an employee is because they never come out of the office! Animal attendants are expected to run the entire facility you will clean and care for the animals ( even aggressive cats and dogs with no proper training to do so) you will also be a secretary janitor landscaper security guard and many other delegated tasks that you have no proper training to do but will have no choice because there’s no staff! Don’t expect any help from the higher ranking officials at the health department they could careless about the shelter and it’s staff and will promise to make changes but never follow through! The union is absolutely awful too and will not help with anything so don’t even bother paying dues unless you enjoy throwing away money! You will be forced to commute to the opposite shelter where you don’t know the animals and management will not make any effort to educate you on them leaving you to fend for yourself and hope that u don’t get bit by a dog or attacked by a feral cat! There’s absolutely no growth and no training or compensation for training that will help you do your job better or safer! - more.

“We have been working with the state and our partners on the logistics of how to handle the distribution. Little, liaison to the Ocean County Health Department. “This will kick off what we expect to be months of COVID-19 vaccine clinics throughout Ocean County,” said Ocean County Freeholder Gerry P. The clinic resulted from a partnership with the Ocean County Health Department, the Ocean County Sheriff’s Office of Emergency Management, Toms River Regional Schools, the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders, RWJ Barnabas Healthcare System, and Hackensack Meridian Healthcare System. Mastronardy, who is the county’s emergency management coordinator, said his office will be providing signage for easy navigation at the vaccination site as well as facility security and temperature monitoring at the site to insure the safety and health of clinic workers and participants. “We are working diligently to meet the challenge and we are hopeful this vaccine will bring this pandemic under control.” “This has been a very difficult time for all of us,” said Freeholder Gary Quinn, who is expected to serve as the 2021 Director of the Ocean County Board of Commissioners. Since March, Ocean County has had 29,274 cases of the coronavirus and almost 1,200 residents have died from it. They gave more than 30,000 vaccinations during the H1N1 outbreak. Any given year, they could give 45,000 flu shots. Large scale vaccinations are part of the health department’s emergency plan, he said. They hired 50 nurses to help with these clinics. “We are well positioned to be set up to distribute the vaccine whether it be at the arena or the future clinics that we will have,” Regenye said. The Health Department plans on opening up other clinics in the future, in other locations such as the southern reaches of the county.

This first batch of vaccines are for health care workers who did not receive it at any other location. Hopefully the supply of vaccine will continue to increase quickly and distribution will do the same.” “While we expect the demand will be high, there is a process we are required to follow. “It’s important that we adhere to the schedule developed by the federal government and the state Department of Health,” said Ocean County Public Health Coordinator Daniel Regenye.

If you are not in the health care field, then you are encouraged to continue to social distance, wear masks, and avoid gatherings.
