National
Infant Immunization Week
(NIIW) is an annual observance
to promote the benefits of
immunizations and to improve
the health of children two
years old or younger. Since
1994, NIIW has provided an
excellent opportunity for
local and state health departments,
national immunization partners,
health care providers, and
community leaders from across
the country to highlight
the positive impact of immunization
on the lives of infants and
children and to call attention
to immunization achievements.
As we celebrate the 10th
anniversary of NIIW, the
CDC is pleased to expand
our immunization efforts
and to be a part of an historic
event. For the first time
ever, childhood immunization
and access to health services
will be promoted concurrently
in all countries in the Americas
through the Pan
American Health Organization’s
(PAHO) Vaccination Week in
the Americas (VWA), April
24-30. See PAHO
Press Release for additional
information.
More
than 35 countries in the
Western Hemisphere will work
together on this unprecedented
event, to highlight the need
for routine vaccinations
and to promote access to
health services for infants
and children during the last
week in April. To kick off
the partnership between NIIW
and VWA, bi-national awareness
and education events are
being planned in conjunction
with PAHO and the US-Mexico
Border Health Commission
in sister city sites along
the US-Mexico border including
San Diego, California –
Tijuana, Mexico and El Paso,
Texas and Ciudad Juarez,
Mexico.
These
border communities will join
over 500 communities from
across the United States
to participate in NIIW and
VWA by planning community
awareness and media events
to promote infant immunizations
to parents, caregivers, health
care providers, and their
communities. Join in the
celebration—create
your own NIIW event and help
to ensure that all children
in your community and throughout
the Western Hemisphere have
a healthy and safe childhood
free from vaccine-preventable
diseases.
