The Vaccine Preventable Disease Program works to reduce and eliminate the incidence of vaccine-preventable diseases affecting children, adolescents, and older adults by raising the immunization coverage rates of New Jersey citizens.

The program includes the following:

• New Jersey Immunization Information System
• Perinatal Hepatitis B Prevention Program
• Vaccines for Children (VFC) Program
• Population Assessment
• Epidemiology and Surveillance
• Acute Flaccid Myelitis Surveillance

VPDP staff also works closely with our colleagues in the Infectious and Zoonotic Disease Program.    VSports手机版.
