Lacey Residents Can Receive Their Flu Shots On Oct. 4

LACEY TOWNSHIP, NJ - It's never too early to get a flu shot.

The Ocean County Health Department will be dispensing the shots from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at Oct. 4 at St. Pius Church at 300 Lacey Road. Pneumonia vaccinations will also be available, Police Chief Michael C. DiBella said.

Influenza and pneumonia vaccinations are free if you are enrolled in Medicare Part B. If you're not, or are enrolled in a Medicare managed care plan, the cost is $20, payable in cash or check.

This year's flu vaccine will protect recipients from four different flu viruses. Vaccinations are especially important for people with chronic diseases, pregnant women and people over 65, the health department says.
