“The health department recommends people 6 months and older get vaccinated against seasonal flu every year,” said Jennifier Bacchione, Ocean County Commissioner, and liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health. “This fall, we are extremely pleased to announce that we are once again bringing back our drive-thru clinic at Ocean County College and continuing our Homebound Flu Vaccine program to make it even more convenient for people to get their shot.”

Daniel Regenye, OCHD Public Health Coordinator, adds, “Getting vaccinated is especially important for pregnant women and people with chronic diseases and protects against several different strains of the flu virus. Getting your flu shot is one of the best ways to protect yourself and your loved ones, and your community.”
