The Bernards Township Health Department has scheduled seasonal flu shot clinics to take place in October.

The clinics will take place:
· Wednesday, October 12 from 9:00-11:00am at St. James Church, 184 S. Finley Ave., Basking Ridge.
· Thursday, October 13 from 9:00-11:00am at Garabrant Center, 4 Wilson St, Mendham.
· Friday, October 21 from 9:00-11:00am at Peapack-Gladstone Borough Hall, 1 School St., Peapack.
· Wednesday, October 26 from 3:00-5:00pm at the Bernardsville Library, 1 Anderson Hill Rd., Bernardsville.

All vaccine used at the BTHD clinics is quadrivalent which means that it protects against four different flu viruses. All clinics are open to those 4 years old through adults and appointments are not required.

The cost of the flu shot is $25 for residents and $35 for non-residents. There is no charge for those with a valid Medicare Part B card. Participants should consult with their doctor before receiving the flu vaccine.

New Jersey law requires that children up to 59 months of age attending any licensed child-care center or pre-school facility, must receive at least one dose of influenza vaccine between September 1st and December 31st of each year. To assist parents in obtaining this vaccination for their pre-school child, the Bernards Township Health Department has scheduled our Seasonal Flu Shot clinics to include children who are age 4 and older in addition to administering flu shots to adults.
