NEW JERSEY-As we spend more time with family, friends, and our community, protecting our health becomes even more important. One of the easiest and most effective ways to do that is by staying up to date with recommended vaccines.

Seasonal illnesses like the flu, COVID-19, and RSV continue to affect people of all ages, especially older adults, young children, and those with underlying health conditions. These illnesses can spread easily at social gatherings, work, church or school. Vaccination helps lower the risk of serious illness and hospitalization.

Health officials encourage everyone to speak with a healthcare provider to determine which vaccines they may need. Many vaccines can be given during the same visit, making it simple to stay protected. Taking this step helps protect you, your loved ones, and the community as a whole.
