question regarding storage of ham

I am having a party at the end of May and am trying to make much of the food myself. I found boneless ham that was in the referigerated section of BJ's in its sealed wrapper. The use by date is the end of June. Do I need to freeze the ham or can I continue to store it refrigerated as long as it is unopened?

Thanks
Linda
