FREE VACCINE PROGRAM FOR CHILDREN AND ADULTS AT THE
MONTCLAIR HEALTH DEPARTMENT
The Montclair Health Department is pleased to offer a new vaccine program for Montclair, Cedar Grove, Verona, Belleville, and Glen Ridge residents, specifically those age 11 years and over. Our office has qualified to receive vaccines through the ARRA (American Recovery and Reinvestment Act) and we now have the ability to protect our adult and adolescent population against certain vaccine-preventable diseases at no cost. Vaccines included in the program include:

TDaP: Tetanus, Diptheria, acellular Pertussis

o For anyone age 11 through 64 years who has never received TDaP
o New mothers that have never received a dose of TDaP
o To receive protection against tetanus following a severe cut or burn

Pneumovax 23: Pneumococcal vaccine; protects against 23 different types of streptococcal pneumonia bacteria

For all adults age 65 years and over
Persons 19 – 64 years who are smokers and/or have asthma
Persons with chronic pulmonary, liver, kidney or heart disorders
Diabetics
Alcoholics
Persons who cannot fight infection from cancer, chemotherapy, HIV infection

Gardasil: HPV – Human Papilloma Virus
o For females: can prevent certain genital warts and cervical cancers caused by those warts
o For males: can prevent certain genital warts
o Females and Males: age 11 through 26 years

Menactra: Meningococcal disease is a serious bacterial illness
o For anyone, age 11 through 55 years; mandatory for 6th grade entrance
and may be required of younger adults residing in a college dormitory

It is recommended that people receive tetanus and diphtheria boosters every 10 years. If it has been 5 years since the last tetanus and diphtheria shot, then it is recommended that students entering grade 6 and adults up to age 65 receive the TDaP; which has the additional benefit of protection against whooping cough.

The vaccines will be available on Wed., September 1st from 9:30-11:30 a.m.
and on Wed., September 8th from 1-3:30 p.m. These vaccines are offered at no cost regardless of insurance coverage. To make an appointment, please contact the Health Department at 973-509-4974.

Coyotes in New Jersey
The coyote is a wild member of the dog family. This resourceful mammal has expanded its range significantly in the recent past, colonizing the entire Northeast and now found throughout the Garden State. The coyote was never introduced or stocked in New Jersey, but has firmly established itself in our area through its extremely adaptable nature.
