National Infant Immunization Week (NIIW) is April 25–May 2 and a digital toolkit is now available!

National Infant Immunization Week (NIIW), April 25–May 2, is an annual observance to highlight the importance of protecting infants from vaccine-preventable diseases and to celebrate the achievements of immunization partners. The 2020 observance will be challenging for many, considering pandemic circumstances. Consider using this week for your community to restate the importance of immunization.

Since 1994, hundreds of U.S. communities have joined together during NIIW to celebrate the critical role vaccination plays in protecting our children, communities, and public health. Giving babies and toddlers the recommended vaccinations by age two is the best way to protect them from 14 serious childhood diseases.

Save time by using CDC’s newly launched 2020 NIIW Digital Media Toolkit to plan and implement your organization’s NIIW activities. The toolkit includes updated logos, sample social media content, social graphics, and key messages. Please share them as you are able using the hashtag #ivax2protect.

Order copies of IAC’s laminated 2020 U.S. child/adolescent and adult immunization schedules today!

IAC’s laminated versions of the 2020 U.S. child/adolescent immunization schedule and the 2020 U.S. adult immunization schedule are available now.

These schedules are ideal for use in any busy healthcare setting where vaccinations are given. Their tough coating can be wiped down, and they’re durable enough to stand up to a year’s worth of use.

With color coding for easy reading, our laminated schedules replicate the original CDC formatting, including the essential tables and notes.
