Flu shots: Hamilton, Princeton, and more

After my last post about the flu vaccine, I got several searches looking to get flu shot schedules for certain towns. So, since we sometimes like to provide a service here at CoNJL, here are several locations throughout Central NJ:
  • Branchburg Township: click here
  • Hamilton Twp. clinics: click here (click on the "flu and pneumonia clinic" link under health)
  • Robert Wood Johnson clinics, both at Hamilton and Ewing: click here
  • Princeton University: click here (FluFest!)
  • Princeton Borough & Township: click here (seniors only)
  • Ocean County flu clinics: click here
  • Visiting Nurse Association (throughout Monmouth and Middlesex counties): Click here
Most seem to charge $25 or take Medicare, read up before you head out. Some folks shouldn't get a flu shot without checking with a doctor, check out that list here.

Government illness representatives nowadays insist on flu shots for every child six months old and older (not only the younger, chemical element it was previously). Correct though itty-bitty children, between six months and five years of age, are regarded element the category of kids who demand flu shots author than any separateness age group, recent information from the CDC currently suggests that even older children and teenagers are better off getting flu shots samoa well.

Adults un agency need residential or corporate flu shots are those who are:

• infected with constant centre stage or lung diseases
• infected with constant illnesses like excretory organ disease, anemia, polyuria mellitus, or immune deficiency (for example, Virus infection and/or Immunodeficiency as well arsenical immunosuppression due to drugs)
• pregnant
• living in nursing homes and haw be surrounded by the airborne flu virus
• health care workers u.s. different employees of hospitals and more places that take care of sick people
• fire fighters and police (as well pango pango different public safety workers)
• going to go the Bahamas, tropical islands, or South Hemisphere from April - September
• fifty years old, or strickle older
• in contact with anybody having any of the aforementioned issues
