SOMERVILLE – Somerset County is taking advantage of its first shipment of 700 Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine doses to ensure seniors who have had difficulty obtaining vaccination appointments get the shots.
The county held its first mobile clinic for seniors Tuesday at the Somerville Senior Citizens Housing on Mountain Avenue where the residents received the single-dose vaccine.
The Somerset County Department of Health is also starting the Somerset County COVID-19 Vaccination Waiting List that will put seniors on top of the list for vaccines.
The health department will initially hold vaccination clinics in buildings and communities where seniors live, at the Bridgewater Senior Center and at the homes of residents unable to travel through county programs like Meals on Wheels.
