A Camden County woman celebrated a milestone birthday in a way that her daughter describes as the best birthday gift she could ever receive.
Ethernell Saxon says that she never anticipated celebrating her 100th birthday at a COVID-19 vaccination site. But that is what she did – receiving her second dose of the Moderna vaccine at the Blackwood vaccine site.
“This is amazing. I’m just so happy to and grateful for the county for doing this,” says daughter Cathleen Jenkins.
Saxon was presented with a proclamation from Cherry Hill Mayor Susan Shin Angulo, along with flowers and cupcakes to celebrate her day.
