Flu Vaccines for Children Five and Under

New Jersey Law requires all children under the age of five (5) to have an influenza vaccine in order to attend any school or day care setting.

The Health Department is asking parents to partner with us as well as with your Day Care Provider as we work to make sure that all children meet this requirement.

In addition to the state requirement, please note that:

• Vaccination is the most effective way to prevent the spread of disease.
• 36,000 people in the United States die each year from the influenza virus.  an additional 200,000 per year are hospitalized.
• The vaccine is safe.  The injectable vaccine is creating using an inactive virus that does not cause the flu.

In order to help facilitate compliance with this law, the Health Department will be offering this vaccine to children under 5 at our clinics this Fall.  Please keep an eye out for clinic date announcements.

Please be advised that beginning today, June 30, the University will be performing construction on Quarry Road from the Yogi Berra Museum to the intersection of Quarry and Carlisle Roads. We will update this notice as construction progresses. If you have any questions or concerns,please contact the Office of Community Relations at community@mail.montclair.edu.

                                  PREVENT RABIES IN OUR COMMUNITIES

Spring is here, and people, pets, and wild animals alike are spending more time outdoors.

Please just remember that the majority of rabies cases occur in wildlife, but your pets and other domestic animals can be infected when they are bitten by rabid wild animals. When "spillover" rabies occurs in domestic animals, the risk to humans is increased.

So, this Spring, we ask you to take the following precautions:

·        Visit your veterinarian with your pet on a regular basis and keep rabies vaccinations up-to-date for all cats, ferrets, and dogs.

·        Maintain control of your pets by keeping cats and ferrets indoors and keeping dogs under direct supervision.

·        Spay or neuter your pets to help reduce the number of unwanted pets that may not be properly cared for or vaccinated regularly.

·        Call animal control to remove all stray animals from your neighborhood since these animals may be unvaccinated or ill.

·        If you or a family member is bitten by a questionable animal, immediately seek medical attention, and call the Health Department 973-835-5700 x127.

Attention Little Falls residents/flood victims:

Please be advised that my office has received several phone calls from residents regarding the solicitation by individuals attempting to sign up residents affected by recent floods in lawsuits, litigation or other matters against prospective defendants, purported to be the cause of the recent flooding.  There are no business or firms authorized to represent residents of Little Falls that have been sanctioned by the Township.  Whatever claims are made to "represent the best interests of Little Falls' residents"  is purely a sales pitch designed to entice our residents into becoming part of a "class-action" suit.  Please contact the Township @ 973-256-0170 for further guidance if needed.
