In Central Jersey, Hunterdon County lags a bit behind Middlesex, Somerset and Union counties for childhood immunizations, much to the consternation of public health officials who worry about the health threat to the region’s children.
While 96.4 percent of students in a typical New Jersey kindergarten class were current on their vaccinations for the 2016-2017 school year, those numbers dip in Hunterdon County to 95.4 percent.
