Shingles vaccine clinics at Pennington Borough Municipal Hall: Protect yourself and others from the painful disease

Wegmans and the Hopewell Township Health Department have teamed up to organize two Shingles vaccine clinics at Pennington Borough Municipal Hall. These clinics, which will take place on April 17 and June 19, 2024, are designed to help prevent the spread of shingles and its complications. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), adults who are 50 years and older should receive two doses of the shingles vaccine to protect themselves from this painful disease. Additionally, those who are 19 years and older with weakened immune systems due to disease or therapy should also get two doses of the vaccine.

Residents in the area are encouraged to sign up for one or both vaccines during the upcoming clinics. It’s important to note that if you only receive one dose at the clinic, you will need to visit a pharmacy in your local area to obtain your second shot.
