Northeast Public Health Collaborative
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Northeast Public Health Collaborative is a coalition created by the governors of several northeast states (including New York,[1][2] Delaware,[3] Maine,[4] Maryland,[5] New Jersey,[6] Connecticut,[7] Massachusetts,[8] Rhode Island,[9] Pennsylvania,[10] Vermont,[11] and Virginia[12]) to coordinate public health guidelines separate from the CDC, similar to the West Coast Health Alliance.[13] Maryland joined in September 2025,[5] and Virginia joined in March 2026.[12]
The voluntary collaboration aims "to share expertise, improve coordination, enhance capacity, strengthen regional readiness, and promote and protect evidence-based public health" and "ensure trust in public health, respond to public health threats, advance community health and strengthen confidence in ... science-based medicine".[14]
The NEPHC released COVID-19 vaccine recommendations for the 2025-2026 academic year on September 15, 2025.[15]
