In 2017, the New Jersey Department of Health (NJDOH) launched the Influenza Honor Roll to recognize institutions that are striving to promote influenza awareness and prevention within their communities. The New Jersey Influenza Honor Roll is open to four categories of honorees:
Institutions of education;
Businesses;
Community-based organizations;
Medical facilities.
Institutions from these categories are encouraged to submit applications detailing influenza-related activities that were implemented during the flu season. Campaign ideas from prior honorees are available in the resource section below. All institutions named to the New Jersey Influenza Honor Roll will be highlighted on the NJDOH website and will receive a certificate of recognition.
2022-2023 New Jersey Honor Roll Awardees
For the 2022-2023 flu season, four categories of honorees were eligible: education, business, community-based, and medical facilities. The list below includes the 29 awardees who are now included on the New Jersey Influenza Honor Roll.
*The Vaccine Preventable Disease Program would also like to present “Top Honors” to Denbo-Crichton Elementary School (DNCR), Ocean County Health Department, Partnership for Maternal and Child Health of Northern NJ, and Rutgers University to highlight their achievements during the past flu season. They are being recognized for their outstanding efforts in spreading knowledge and awareness of the benefits of flu vaccination through various outreach.
