Ridgewood NJ, A Ridgewood High School student’s video is a finalist in an annual contest by Potect Me With 3+ . The contest is designed to help encourage adolescent immunization awareness.
Nicole Kye’s entry is a 30 second public service announcement encourages people to get a vaccine against human papillomavirus. Kye created the video and entered it into the Protect Me With 3+ contest.
The contest challenges New Jersey middle and high school students to raise awareness about various vaccinations and the diseases they can prevent.
Potect Me With 3+ is an annual poster and video contest, and a collaboration between The Partnership for Maternal and Child Health of Northern New Jersey and the New Jersey Department of Health. We believe your health is worth a shot.

Tetanus, Diphtheria, Pertussis (Tdap)
Human Papillomavirus (HPV)
Meningococcal Conjugate
Flu

It’s really just all about HPV. And the HPV vaccine push is really just all about sexualizing middle-school age children. Disgusting.
