Measles cases are rising across the country. While New Jersey does not currently have a measles outbreak, our statewide childhood immunization rate has fallen to 91.3% — the lowest level in eight years. As Quality Institute President and CEO Linda Schwimmer recently wrote, “This is a troubling trend that, if it continues, will inevitably lead to outbreaks and harm.” Maintaining strong vaccination rates is one of our most effective tools for preventing outbreaks and protecting our communities.

A recent article from The Jersey Vindicator links Linda’s analysis of New Jersey’s declining immunization rates to the latest measles data and the State Health Commissioner’s call for families to review their vaccination records.
