Statewide Immunization Registry Act

New Jersey · Health and Vital Statistics · §§ 26:4-1 to 26:4-99 · 139 sections

Overview

The Statewide Immunization Registry Act governs New Jersey's public health response to communicable disease, covering both the state's supply of vaccines and biologicals and its maritime quarantine authority. It directs the State Department of Health and its Commissioner to purchase, regulate, and distribute vaccines, serums, antitoxins, and related biologicals — including free distribution to licensed physicians — funded through appropriations, a dedicated Hepatitis Inoculation Fund, and federal grants, with rulemaking and enforcement powers to back it up. It also establishes quarantine procedures for vessels arriving at state ports, defining the powers and duties of port health officers, the permit and examination process for landing, fee collection and liens against vessels, and reporting obligations to the department.
