Essex County Executive Joseph N. DiVincenzo, Jr. announced that the Essex County Division of Health is transitioning the COVID-19 Vaccination Mobile Clinic schedule for the winter. There will be no clinics scheduled the week of November 21 because of the Thanksgiving holiday and the new schedule will begin on Monday, November 28.
