Township officials are seeking volunteers, who along with many township employees, will be matched with a specific senior or other individuals without access to technology or family support to help navigate the state’s COVID-19 Appointment Vaccine System. With the efforts of Mayor Stephen Dalina and the Township Council, the COVID-19 vaccination site at the Monroe Township Senior Center is now limited to serving only Monroe Township and Middlesex County residents. The senior center was designated as one of five regional vaccination centers operating through the County vaccination program. Vaccines are administered by appointments only through the NJ Vaccine Scheduling System on the state’s website at covidvaccine.nj.gov. Vaccination center coordinated by the Middlesex County Board of Health is open at the Monroe Senior Center. The township has lost two more residents to COVID-19, which brings the total number of residents lost to 168, 88 in long-term care facilities and 80 community-wide.
