Update- December 6, 2021
COVID-19 Vaccine Booster Update:
COVID-19 boosters have been approved for all three COVID-19 vaccine products. Those who have had Pfizer or Moderna are eligible for a booster dose 6 months after their second dose and those who received Johnson & Johnson are eligible 2 months after their initial vaccination. Eligible booster populations are able to choose any of the three vaccinations for their booster vaccination as long as they have completed the initial series. Through November the Princeton Health Department will be hosting weekly office clinics at One Monument Drive. Appointments for these clinics can be made through the NJ Vaccine Scheduling System (https://covidvaccine.nj.gov/en-US/). Walk-ins are also welcome. If you have any questions about boosters or upcoming clinics please email Julie Venema, jvenema@princetonnj.gov.
