National Immunization Awareness Month (NIAM) is a platform to increase the public’s knowledge and understanding of the need to stay current on vaccinations.

This year, more than ever, we recognize the critical role vaccination plays in protecting our children and communities and the nation’s public health from 14 vaccine-preventable diseases. As opportunities for in-person learning and play grow, the CDC recommends families check with their healthcare providers to make sure children are up to date on routinely recommended vaccines, following disruptions from COVID-19.
