Last year in the United States, over 50,000 adults died from diseases that might have been prevented through simple vaccinations. While immunization has had a dramatic effect in decreasing childhood disease, adults remain seriously under immunized. Each year, 99% of all vaccine-preventable deaths occur in adults with over 200,000 hospitalizations for serious complications. Deaths from vaccine-preventable diseases in adults outnumber those from breast cancer, HIV/AIDS, and motor-vehicle accidents. These are BIG numbers!

Do you have health insurance? More New Jerseyans than ever before do. Over a two year period since the Affordable Care Act (ACA) opened the federal insurance marketplace and expanded Medicaid, the uninsured population has decreased by nearly half across the state.
