SOMERVILLE - Somerset County is expanding its program to vaccinate students against COVID-19.
The county started the program in Green Brook and has added Bernards, Franklin, North Plainfield, South Bound Brook, Watchung, Watchung Hills Regional, and Warren school districts.
The program began last week in Green Brook where more than 150 residents between 12 and 18 were vaccinated.
This week will see South Bound Book, North Plainfield, and Franklin schools hosting clinics, and next week will see Watchung, Warren, Watchung Hills and Bernards schools vaccinating students.
The Somerset County Department of Health will return three weeks from each clinic to provide the second dose.

Somerset County will offer COVID-19 vaccination clinics for the week of May 10 as part of its effort to make it easy for every resident to be protected against the virus.
And for the first time, the county will be providing all three CDC-approved vaccines after receiving its first allotment of Pfizer.
“The pop-up walk-in clinics we’ve been holding over the past few weeks have been very successful, and so we are increasing the number of these clinics while reducing the number of drive-thru dates,” said Somerset County Commissioner Douglas Singleterry, liaison to the Department of Health. “This allows us to put clinics where people live, work, and play to make it incredibly convenient for everyone who wants to be vaccinated to get vaccinated.”
