The State of New Jersey is working hard to provide COVID-19 vaccinations to all front line healthcare workers. The NJ State Department of Heath has identified dental hygienists as 1A health providers and, as essential employees, are eligible to receive the vaccine as it is offered. The New Jersey Dental Hygienists' Association is searching for information on when and where each county is providing vaccinations and how you can register for yours.
 
To date we are aware of only 3 counties setting up appointments to be vaccinated. Those are Bergen, Essex and Ocean Counties. Links are provided below for registration. As other counties arrange for vaccinations we will share the information.
 
Bergen County: BergenCovidVaccine.org
 
Essex County: EssexCOVID.org
 
Ocean County: https://ohinj.org/vaccine-consent-landing/

Comprehensive Oral health care remains out of reach for millions of people in the United States. This is particularly true for those with low incomes, those in rural communities and those in communities of color. Some prm vncvomic opportunity, affordable housing, healthful food options, access to sufficient health insurance or enough financial resources, struggle with significant barriers to receiving timely and quality dental care. The lack of access to routine care can lead to serious dental disease and is tied to several chronic illnesses, including diabetes, heart disease and stroke. What will it take to improve access and quality of oral care for Americans, especially for the most vulnerable?​ Click Here to watch the video!

These vaccinations may be administered under the supervision of a doctor of medicine (M.D.), a doctor of osteopathic medicine (D.O.), a registered professional nurse (R.N.), an advanced practice nurse (A.P.N.), a physician assistant (P.A.), or a pharmacist (R.Ph.). 

Great job NJDHA and to all of the hygienists that emailed in their support! Your voices were heard and have made the difference!!

​The Outstanding Service Award was established in 1992 and renamed in honor of Frances D. Fluhr, RDH in 1993. It is in memory of her service to NJDHA for over 40 years. She contributed outstanding service on the Board of Trustees and in many officer positions. 

The purpose of the award is to identify and recognize the dental hygienist that is a member of NJDHA and has made outstanding contributions through volunteerism to dental hygiene on a state level.

This scholarship is named in honor of Cheryl Westphal Theile, RDH, MS, EdD, Past President of NJDHA and the American Dental Hygienists’ Association (ADHA), and the first dental hygienist to serve on the New Jersey State Board of Dentistry.

The scholarship is presented at the NJDHA Annual Conference to a licensed dental hygienist who is pursuing a baccalaureate degree in dental hygiene or accredited, degree completion studies related to the professional roles of the dental hygienist.
