The Hopewell Township Health Department is partnering with Wegmans to host two Shingles vaccine clinics at Pennington Borough Municipal Hall, on April 17 and June 19, 2024.
The CDC recommends that adults 50 years and older receive two doses of the shingles vaccine to prevent shingles and complications from the disease. Adults 19 years and older who have weakened immune systems because of disease or therapy should also get two doses of the shingles vaccine, due to their higher risk.
Residents can sign up to receive one or both vaccines at these clinics. Please know that if you only receive one vaccine at these clinics, you need to go to Wegmans or another pharmacy in the area to obtain your second shot.
