AJR 206 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Designates November of each year as "C. Difficile Awareness Month."

This joint resolution designates November of each year as "C. Difficile Awareness Month" in New Jersey. It urges citizens, healthcare workers, and public officials to observe the month through activities that increase public awareness of *Clostridioides difficile* (C. Difficile) infections. The resolution requests the Governor issue an annual proclamation to formally recognize the month and promote education about this bacterial infection. The measure focuses on raising awareness - specifically about C. Difficile's impact (affecting ~500,000 patients yearly with high mortality and healthcare costs) - rather than implementing new policies or funding.
