Heading into the fall season surrounded by the threat of multiple infectious diseases is not a pleasant prospect, but the news is not all bad, and the Princeton Health Department has been busy planning and carrying out flu vaccine clinics, COVID-19 bivalent vaccine clinics, and monkeypox vaccine clinics.
“Along with the support provided by the mayor, council, and administration, we are working closely with the state to acquire additional resources to maintain our efforts in the continued fight against these emerging diseases, while continuing to do everything else that is required of a local health department.
“We’re certainly still on high alert for COVID outbreaks while monitoring new variants of concern, which are reported to our department via the New Jersey Department of Health and our regional epidemiologists,” said Grosser.
The health department will also be continuing monkeypox vaccinations for the foreseeable future, Grosser said.
” The health department is ready to contact trace for monkeypox and administer vaccines when called upon.

COVID-19 vaccine clinics are scheduled for Thursday, October 6, at the Princeton Senior Resource Center, 45 Stockton Street, 10 a.
