Immunizations

Vaccination is one of the safest and most effective ways to protect children, adolescents, and communities from serious infectious diseases. Immunization not only prevents illness and saves lives, but also helps reduce the spread of vaccine-preventable diseases, protecting those who are too young or unable to be vaccinated. Pediatricians play a vital role in ensuring children receive recommended immunizations on schedule, addressing questions and concerns from families, and promoting confidence in vaccines through trusted, evidence-based communication. As immunization recommendations, policies, and public health challenges continue to evolve, healthcare providers need timely resources, education, and practical tools to support vaccine delivery and family engagement.

The New Jersey Chapter, American Academy of Pediatrics is committed to supporting pediatricians and other healthcare professionals in improving immunization rates and strengthening vaccine confidence across New Jersey. NJAAP provides the following programs and resources to help practices deliver high-quality, equitable immunization services to children and adolescents throughout the state.
