Update from Mayor Bhalla on COVID-19 (11/28)
Below is an update from Mayor Ravi S. Bhalla on COVID-19.
Updated booster & flu vaccine clinic tomorrow, Nov. 29
Appointments are still available for Tuesday’s clinic with Medicine Man Pharmacy & Compounding. The clinic will provide updated COVID-19 boosters and flu vaccines from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 28, at 605 Jackson St. Eligible residents may elect to receive one or both the updated booster and the seasonal flu vaccine.
To make a required appointment for either the flu vaccine, updated COVID-19 booster, or both, go to www.hobokennj.gov/vaccine.
Residents will need to book two separate appointments if they want both the flu vaccine and the updated booster, but Medicine Man Pharmacy & Compounding will administer both shots at the same time during either appointment time.
