The Princeton Health Department and Princeton Senior Resource Center (PSRC) will hold their annual flu immunization clinic and health fair on Tuesday, October 18, at the Suzanne Paterson Building from 1-6 p.m. Make-up clinics are on November 7, 4-6 p.m. in the Community Room at 400 Witherspoon Street, and December 7, 4-6 p.m. in the main meeting room at 1 Monument Drive.

There will be no out-of-pocket costs for the Flu/TDap vaccine administered to Princeton residents with health insurance coverage stipulated on the www.princetonnj.gov/health website. However, consent forms must be completed (www.princetonnj.gov/health/index.html), which enables the health department to bill the healthcare providers. The health department will also provide flu shots to anyone under insured or uninsured.

The health department is urging all participants to make an appointment for the PSRC clinic by calling (609) 924-7108 (ask for Mauri). Completed consent forms brought to the clinic will expedite your visit. Complete the highlighted portion of the consent form if you are obtaining a flu shot only. Complete the entire form if you are also receiving the Tdap vaccine, which protects against three potentially life-threatening bacterial diseases: tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (whooping cough), and is recommended every 10 years.
