Vaccine Clinic at Rt. 12 County Complex Last Saturday |
|
A record seven hundred first and second vaccine doses were administered by Hunterdon County’s Health Department on Saturday, February 20, at the County’s drive thru vaccination clinic, after snow storms forced the postponement of clinics on February 18th and 19th.
County Health Department Director Karen DeMarco stated, “Providing vaccinations to those with appointments is the mission of the clinic, and it is vitally important that those scheduled for second doses of the Moderna vaccine receive those vaccinations within the specified time frame.
When the snow storms wiped out the first dose clinic on Thursday and the second dose clinic on Friday, the staff kicked it into high gear to deliver a record seven hundred vaccinations on Saturday with a wait time of under an hour.”

Provided By County

Hunterdon County Board of Commissioners Director Susan J. Soloway reported that all thirteen County Rescue Squads have now received two 3M Power Air-Purifying Respirator Kits each provided by the County Board, at the February 16th Commissioners Meeting.
Director Soloway said, “The Board has been advised that all thirteen Volunteer Rescue Squads are now in possession of the respirator units. The County’s Office of Emergency Management (OEM) coordinated the delivery of this vital safety equipment.
