Vaccinations will be free of charge and open to county residents through March 28
With reports of the flu reaching epidemic levels this season, Freeholder Director Robert M. Damminger and Freeholder Jim Jefferson, liaison to the Department of Health and Human Services, would like to remind residents that flu clinics are still being provided by the county and will be held through March.
“It is important for residents to get flu shots in order to protect themselves and to help prevent others around them from getting sick,” Damminger said. “With the flu as infectious as it is said to be this season, the health of our residents is a priority.”
“These vaccinations are free of charge and open to Gloucester County residents,” Jefferson said. “No appointments are needed, so it is easy to get a shot and better your chances of staying healthy.”
From September to December the county provided approximately 9,840 flu shots and is continuing to encourage residents who may not have been vaccinated yet to take advantage of these free clinics.
