The Hot Shots for Tots Immunization Campaign is a voluntary, point-based incentive program for child care and preschool facilities. The campaign encourages and facilitates a collaboration with immunization stakeholders to promote best practices and improve immunization coverage.

Participating facilities conduct immunization-related activities to earn points toward reaching one of the three award levels: Gold, Silver, or Bronze. Examples of qualifying activities include: attending an annual immunization workshop, participating in the New Jersey Immunization Information System (NJIIS), and providing information to parents about childhood immunizations.

The Hot Shots for Tots Campaign was initially piloted in Monmouth County in the Spring of 2018 and was eventually launched statewide. If you would like to participate in the campaign, sign up by completing the registration survey here.

Congratulations to the 23 awardees of the 2023-2024 NJ Hot Shots for Tots Immunization Campaign! This year, there are 18 Gold, 2 Silver, 1 Bronze, and 2 Honorable Mentions.

By participating in this campaign, these facilities are demonstrating their commitment to preventing vaccine-preventable diseases in their schools and communities.
