When And Where Can Princeton Residents Get Their Flu Shots?

Princeton, NJ– Princeton residents will have three opportunities to get a flu shot this fall.

The first chance to get immunized is Tuesday, Oct. 18, during the Princeton Health Department and Princeton Senior Resource Center’s annual flu immunization clinic and health fair at the Suzanne Paterson Building, 1 p.m.-6 p.m.

The health department urges all participants to make an appointment for the PSRC clinic by calling 609-924-7108, and asking for Mauri.

Consent forms should be completed ahead of time and brought to the clinic at the time of the fair. Complete the highlighted portion of the consent form for flu shots only. Complete the entire form to receive the Tdap vaccine as well.

Tdap vaccine is a combination vaccine that protects against three potentially life-threatening bacterial diseases: tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (whooping cough), and is recommended every 10 years.
No appointments will be needed for the makeup flu clinics, which will be held on the following dates:

• Monday, November 7th (4 p.m.-6 p.m.) Community Room (400 Witherspoon Street)
• Wednesday, December 7th (4 p.m.–6 p.m.) Main Meeting Room (One Monument Drive)

There will be no out of pocket costs for Flu/TDap vaccine administered to Princeton residents with health insurance coverage stipulated on the www.princetonnj.gov/health website. Completing the consent form enables the health department to bill your healthcare provider.

The health department will provide flu shots to anyone underinsured or uninsured.
