Flu Vaccine Clinic Schedule Announced In Ocean County

TOMS RIVER, NJ — The Ocean County Health Department has released its vaccine clinic schedule for seasonal flu and pneumonia shots for the 2025-26 flu season.

There are almost three dozen clinics scheduled throughout Ocean County starting in October, the health department said.

The first clinic is scheduled for Oct. 3 at the Lacey Community Center in Forked River.

The health department will offer a weekly drive-through clinic at Ocean County College in Parking Lot 3 on Mondays from Oct. 6 through Dec. 15. The drive-through clinic will be from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on those Mondays.

In addition the health department will offer its Homebound Flu Vaccine program for those residents who are restricted to their homes and qualify.

"Getting vaccinated is especially important for pregnant women and people with chronic diseases and protects against several different strains of the flu virus," said Daniel Regenye, the department's public health coordinator. "Getting your flu shot is one of the best ways to protect yourself and your loved ones, and your community."
