Shore Physicians Group will host two flu vaccine clinics this fall, offering adults a convenient way to get vaccinated ahead of flu season.
The first clinic will be held from 4 to 7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 25, at Shore Physicians Group’s Somers Point Primary Care office, 401 Bethel Road. A second clinic will take place from 8 a.m. to noon Saturday, Oct. 17, at the group’s Northfield Primary Care office, 2605 Shore Road.
Flu vaccines will be available for adults 18 and older, including vaccines specifically recommended for those 65 and older. People at higher risk for complications from the flu are encouraged to speak with their primary care provider about vaccination.
Although flu vaccines may be available as early as August, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention generally recommends vaccination in September or October to help provide protection throughout flu season.
Shore Physicians Group patients can schedule an appointment by calling 609-365-6200. Appointments will be scheduled in five-minute intervals.
The clinics will offer flu vaccines only. COVID-19 vaccines and combination flu and COVID-19 vaccines will not be available at the events. Those seeking a COVID-19 vaccination should contact their local pharmacy.
