According to the Township of Hillsborough:

Committeeman Frank DelCore, Liaison to the Health Department announced the Township’s upcoming Flu Vaccination Clinics at Tuesday’s Township Committee meeting.

“Flu season is upon us and it is important that you consider obtaining a flu vaccination to protect the health of our community; the more people vaccinated, the less flu will circulate,” reported Committeeman Frank DelCore.

“The Township’s Health Department will offer flu shots for residents at the Municipal Complex on Wednesday, September 30th from 2-4 pm and 5-7 pm and also on Thursday, October 1st from 4-7 pm,” added Committeeman DelCore.

Flu vaccinations can also be given by your regular physician, walk- in medical facilities, and pharmacies. It is important to contact your physician to set up an appointment to obtain a vaccination.
