Immunizations

Immunizations are recommended for children and adults to help prevent the spread of infectious diseases. A vaccine protects a person from a specific disease by stimulating their immune system to produce immunity to it. It is typically administered through needle injections into the upper arm or thigh.

Here is a list of recommended vaccinations for children (birth – 18 years old) and adults.

Like any other medical procedure, there is risk of side effects, so speak with your doctor or child’s pediatrician if you have any concerns.

Here are the New Jersey School Immunization Requirements for Childcare / Preschool and School K-12.
