While restrictions may be made on who is eligible to receive influenza vaccination we will do everything in our power to see that those who are eligible and are in need of influenza vaccination receive it. Please contact us at 732- 356-8090 ext. 254 or 908-753-8000 ext. 239 for further information.

The following is a tentative schedule of influenza vaccination clinics. Other clinics may be scheduled depending upon demand and the following may change.

Pre-registration is required for all clinics and is likely to start the last week of September. Medicare Part B eligible customers will be provided the vaccination at no charge if they can provide a copy of their Medicare card. Others will be charged at a rate necessary to cover the costs of administration of the vaccine.

Pneumococcal vaccine will also be made available. The same guidelines as detailed for influenza will apply.
