Dear Residents,
As summer ends and school starts, the New Jersey Department of Health and Northwest Bergen Regional Health Commission would like to remind parents to ensure their kids’ vaccinations are up-to-date. Vaccination is critical to helping protect not only your child but also their classmates, teachers, and everyone they come into contact with.
Kids should get all the vaccines recommended for their age. In New Jersey, there are specific vaccine requirements for schools:
Childcare/Preschools Requirements
It’s always best to consult with your doctor to confirm that your child’s vaccines are current. If any vaccines are needed, your doctor can guide you on the next steps. By working together, we can ensure a healthy and successful school year for everyone!
Take care and be well,
NWBRHC Staff
