The Bergenfield Health Department is offering a free seasonal flu vaccination for residents over the age of 19 on today, October 7 from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m. at the Memorial Park Pavilion. 

This year, the CDC is advising all adults to receive a flu shot as a COVID-19 vaccination continues to be researched. The flu shot administered by the Borough is a Quadrivalent, no preservation vaccine that protects against the four most common strands of the flu expected this coming winter. 

Residents interested in participating are asked to complete the below consent form.

This year, as we continue to respond to the spread of COVID-19, the state of New Jersey has released a list of comprehensive recommendations to safely celebrate Halloween.

Traditional Halloween celebrations often involve crowds, close contact between individuals, and activities in closed spaces. Outdoor activities, as opposed to indoor parties and events, are recommended. Those planning celebrations or participating in Halloween activities should keep in mind public health recommendations of social and physical distancing, wearing masks that cover the nose and mouth, and hand hygiene. Costume masks are not an acceptable substitute for cloth or disposable masks. Individuals should minimize interaction and contact with others who are not a part of their household.

As a reminder, no one should participate in these activities if they or a household member have a known exposure to COVID-19, are sick/symptomatic, or have been diagnosed with COVID-19 and has not yet met the criteria for discontinuing isolation. A full list of recommendation can be found here.
