offering vaccines and boosters now that the holiday season has begun.
News 12’s Keith Kocinski was at the Essex County mega
vaccine site at the old Kmart building in West Orange.
Currently, it is unclear how effective vaccines are against
the omicron variant. Moderna and Pfizer say it could take weeks to determine
the effectiveness.
Doctors told News 12 it is still important to get
vaccinated, practice good hygiene and to wear a mask when social distancing
isn’t possible.
There are two other mega sites in Essex:
- Essex County College in Newark
- The old Sears building in Livingston.
Vaccines for ages 12 and older are available Monday-Saturday
from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. It’s open to kids ages 5-11 Monday to Friday 4 p.m. to 7
p.m. and Saturday 9 a.m.-5 a.m.
