What is National Infant Immunization Week?
National Infant Immunization Week (NIIW) is a yearly observance held in April, to highlight the importance of protecting children from life-threatening vaccine-preventable diseases. On-time vaccination is critical to protect children from 14 diseases that could potentially cause long-term disability or death.
The 2024 National Infant Immunization Week (NIIW) is April 22-29th . In 2024 our primary focus is to ensure families stay on track with their children’s well-child visits and routinely recommended vaccinations.
We’re using the 2024 NIIW to encourage vaccine conversations at all community levels! Our goal is Community Immunity! #ivax2protect
