New Date for Immunization Awareness Week
The National Foundation for Infectious Diseases (NFID) and National
Coalition for Adult Immunization (NCAI) have announced a new date for
National Adult Immunization Awareness Week (NAIAW). This year, NAIAW
will be held from September 26 through October 2 with the theme,
"Immunization: Building a Path to a Healthy Tomorrow." NAIAW emphasizes
the importance of immunizing adolescents and adults against
vaccine-preventable diseases.
Immunizers can plan their immunization programs at the start of
October to coincide with NAIAW. The earlier date also provides time for
the general public, particularly those considered high-risk, to
schedule appointments beginning October 1 for their vaccinations.
