Vaccines: What You Need to Know is a public awareness initiative aimed at clarifying myths and misconceptions surrounding vaccines while providing accurate information to help ensure the health and safety of every citizen in our state. The Caucus Educational Corporation is unveiling this initiative in collaboration with Hackensack Meridian Health and the New Jersey Department of Health.
According to Lucy Pereira-Argenziano, MD, Senior VP & Chief Quality Officer- Northern Region, Chief Medical Officer for Ambulatory Services, Hackensack Meridian Health; “Caucus Educational Corporation’s special-series, Vaccines: What You Need to Know, is essential because public awareness and education about vaccines is so important. We need to continue to look at the illnesses we have prevented with immunizations, which has led to a significant decrease in mortality across the United States and across the world. Immunizations protect not only the individuals receiving those vaccines, but also the population at large.”
