For Immediate Release – December 9, 2021
MIDDLETOWN, NJ – Middletown Township joined forces with the VNA of Central Jersey Community Health Center in September to provide booster shots for those who are eligible, as well as COVID-19 vaccines, at the Middletown Township Public Library (55 New Monmouth Road). VNACJ Community Health Center nurses will be administering Pfizer, Moderna, and J&J/Janssen booster shots in the Community Room at the library on Mondays from 9 AM to 2 PM and Wednesdays from 10 AM to 5:30 PM for the remainder of 2021.
“As soon as the COVID-19 vaccine became available earlier this year, Middletown began its efforts to provide our residents with immediate access,” said Mayor Perry. “Our continued partnership with the VNACJ to provide the booster shot reaffirms our commitment to protecting the most vulnerable members of our community.”
People ages 5 and over who have yet to be vaccinated against COVID-19 are welcome to receive their first and second doses of the Pfizer vaccine at the library. The Moderna vaccine will be available for first and second doses for those over the age of 18. Visit www.middletownnj.org/covid19 for information about who is eligible for a booster shot.
