Northern Utah Immunization Coalition (NUIC)

Description

The Northern Utah Immunization Coalition was formed in 1993 to address the low immunization levels among two-year-old children in northern Utah, in the counties of Weber, Morgan, and Davis. The Coalition’s mission is to promote early childhood and adolescent immunizations and educate the community through effective action and leadership. Adult activities are also included. It is comprised of a chairperson and individuals representing county/city schools, physician’s offices, childcare centers, the Ogden Junior League, the PTA, local health departments, and local
hospitals.
