The New Jersey Chapter, American Academy of Pediatrics, supports legislative action that empowers pediatricians to protect and advance the health and wellness of all infants, children and adolescents. As a Chapter representing over 1,800 pediatricians from across the state, we remain steadfast in our position that only a medical exemption be allowed for excusing students from state-required immunization mandates. We advocate for the elimination of all economic barriers that hinder access to immunizations and strongly encourage steps be taken to ensure that every child has access to vaccines at any provider on any visit irrespective of insurance plan provider
The New Jersey Chapter, American Academy of Pediatrics is addressing these issues and have
the following programs and resources available to support teens through development of healthy and open communication.
