Media Advisory: NJ Health Commissioner Receives Flu Vaccination

Don’t Wait, Vaccinate!

As part of the #FightTheFluNJ Campaign, on Friday, October 12, New Jersey Health Commissioner Dr. Shereef Elnahal will visit Henry J. Austin Health Center to receive an influenza vaccination and speak to patients and staff of the health center about the importance of getting vaccinated and steps they can take to prevent the spread of flu.

The event will begin at 11am at Henry J. Austin Health Center, 321 N. Warren Street, Trenton, NJ in the 2nd Floor Conference Room.

Throughout the fall, Department of Health staff will be visiting community health centers, hospitals and local health departments across the state to get their flu shots to illustrate the importance of this preventive measure.
