The Ocean County Health Department announced on Tuesday that they are now offering the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine on Wednesday and Thursday at the Toms River clinic located at the RWJ Barnabas Healthcare Arena.

This isn't an announcement for just adults, anyone between 12 and 18-years old can also come in to get the Pfizer vaccine, which is the only one approved and available for this age group.

However, anyone under 18 must provide a consent form signed by a parent or guardian in order to receive the vaccine, and that's not just in Ocean County.

The clinic today in Toms River will run from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm and tomorrow will go from 9:00 am until 3:00 pm.

OCHD officials said that the Moderna vaccine will still be available at each clinic in Ocean County along with the Pfizer vaccine.
