Rios of the Middlesex County Board of County Commissioners. “It is an honor to partner with Hackensack Meridian Health and Monroe Township to bring these vaccines to our seniors, providing a sense of relief during this pandemic and, hopefully, the opportunity for visits with loved ones.”

“Monroe Township Council and I have taken advantage of every opportunity to help our residents, particularly our seniors, get vaccinated as soon as a vaccine became available.  So when the opportunity to partner once again with Middlesex County and Hackensack Meridian Health to provide a dedicated clinic for our seniors at our senior center, we jumped on board,” said Monroe Mayor Stephen Dalina.  “We are thankful to the County of Middlesex for their ongoing support of our efforts to vaccinate our most vulnerable residents and we appreciate Hackensack Meridian for joining the effort.”
