In preparation for in-person attendance for the 2022-23 school year, the New Jersey Department of Health (NJDOH), Vaccine Preventable Disease Program is reminding parents and healthcare providers (HCPs) that all children must comply with age-appropriate immunization requirements set forth in N.J.A.C. 8:57-4. Children who are not up to date on their immunization requirements and/or do not meet eligibility for provisional admission, will not be allowed to attend school in-person until immunization(s) are received or applicable exemptions are filed.

Routine vaccination rates declined last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The decline might pose a serious public health threat that would result in pediatric vaccine-preventable disease outbreaks which have the potential to derail efforts to reopen schools. Therefore, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the NJDOH is encouraging all parents and guardians to get their children up to date with their vaccinations. Parents and guardians should plan ahead and schedule appointments with their HCPs now to avoid the back-to-school rush in August.
