Scotch Plains Announces Flu Clinic Dates

The Scotch Plains Health Department will hold its seasonal flu clinic next Monday, Sept. 21, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the court room at the municipal building.

All Scotch Plains residents, 65 years and older (bring Medicare card), and those residents with a chronic illness (at no charge), are encouraged to attend to receive their flu shot early in the season.

Other Scotch Plains residents, who are interested in receiving the shot may do so for $10 (cash or check only) at the clinic.

The health department made it clear that this clinic is just for the seasonal flu shot, and not for the H1N1 vaccine. A date to distribute that vaccine will be scheduled in the near future.

Seasonal flu shots will also be administered during the township's annual health fair on Oct. 24 from 9 a.m. to noon. For more information, call the Scotch Plains Health Department at 908-322-6700, ext. 1-309 or ext  1-310.

The Westfield Regional Health Department, which administers the flu vaccine for Fanwood, also recently announced its clinic dates. To view those, go here.
