Despite reported shortages of H1N1 vaccinations in various New Jersey towns, West Windsor is moving along with vaccinating its own residents.
According to Business Administrator Robert Hary, about 1,600 doses of the vaccination have already been administered to residents by township health officials. Those 1,600 doses have been given to the township’s residents who are 6 months or older, up to those who are in sixth grade.
The township has been holding weekly flu clinics, during which it progressively targets various age groups in the town. On December 2, the most recent clinic, officials targeted students in seventh, eighth, and ninth grades.
Hary said officials scheduled the next vaccination clinic for Wednesday, December 9, when students in grades 10, 11, and 12 can be vaccinated. Officials also tentatively scheduled a second chance at this time for residents nine years old and under to get the shot if they haven’t already.
