Stop Proposed NJ Department of Health Code Revisions

Both Governor Murphy and Commissioner of Health, Judith Persichilli have denied that the Department of Health is looking to add vaccines to the NJ childhood schedule for K-12 attendance.  But on May 8, 2023, the NJ Department of Health (NJDOH) sent out a memo to "NJ stakeholders," asking for a review of a presentation and feedback on proposed revisions of the NJ Administrative Code Title 8 Chapter 57 which impacts the vaccine schedule and much more!  One objective listed in the presentation was to, "Align immunization requirements specified in this subchapter with the current ACIP recommendations.”  If adopted, this means the NJDOH would add Covid, HPV, and flu vaccines to the NJ roster!

We need everyone to TAKE ACTION NOW and help STOP these proposed changes before they are adopted!
