S 3965 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Repeals law that revises coverage for certain immunizations and reference to Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices.

This bill in New Jersey repeals a 2025 law that required health insurers and the Medicaid program to cover certain immunizations without cost sharing. The repealed law mandated that these entities follow immunization recommendations from the New Jersey Department of Health, which previously considered guidance from the federal Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices and other medical organizations. By removing this law, the bill eliminates the requirement for insurers to cover immunizations based on state department recommendations and restores references to the federal Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices in related statutes. The change directly affects health insurance providers, Medicaid, and individuals who rely on these coverage provisions for vaccine expenses.
