PRINCETON – The gym at the Thomas Prince School was set up almost as a classroom, with desks 6 feet apart. But the “students” were a little older than those usually seen at the school.
Firefighters, police officers and other first responders were attending the class to get vaccinated on Friday, Jan 15.
Fire Chief John Bennett said the setup can handle 52 people at a time for the COVID-19 vaccinations. It showcased the efficiency that may process more than 600 people per day when it is time for the general public.
Friday evening, officials from EMTs to nurses moved from desk to desk with a cart and methodically and efficiently vaccinated the people who are among the first tiers to get the shots.

PRINCETON Monti Farms & Deli on Princeton Road is open again after a two-week shut down that began Nov. 23 as a result of an employee testing positive for COVID-19.
“My immediate reaction to hearing that one of my employees tested positive was shock,” said owner Michael Watkins. “The shock quickly changed to action. Through this entire pandemic I had prepared myself for this exact moment. It was inevitable that we would have to close because of our exposure to people seven days a week. I’m thankful we lasted this long without a positive case.”
