Lampitt Bill to Promote Flu Vaccination Among Seniors Clears Panel

Legislation Assemblywoman Pamela Lampitt sponsored to promote seasonal influenza awareness among New Jersey seniors was advanced Monday by an Assembly panel.

“Older New Jerseyans are far more susceptible to serious flu-related complications. Because their immune systems are weaker, the flu can result in hospitalization or even death among seniors,” said Lampitt (D-Camden/Burlington). “Supplying members of this specific population with the information they need to protect themselves and those around them can keep older residents healthy and save lives.”
