The Friday Five – National Immunization Awareness Month

Aug 17, 2018 | Posted by Annmarie Budniak | Celebrations - Awareness, HIT Feed |

Follow and join the conversation with #NIAM18.

National Immunization Awareness Month, sponsored by the National Public Health Information Coalition (@nphic), is observed each August in order to highlight the importance of vaccination at all ages. This week’s Friday Five includes new approaches to ensuring children and adults receive required vaccinations, why vaccination is important and what you need to know about vaccines.

BioIQ to Provide Immunization Solutions to Employers Leveraging Walmart and Sam’s Club Pharmacies Locations
BioIQ (@BioIQ), a healthcare technology company driving the shift to value-based care, announced it is working with Walmart and Sam’s Club to expand BioIQ’s immunization offering for employers across the U.S. BioIQ’s comprehensive employer immunization solution includes a high-quality, national network of pharmacists and clinicians and sophisticated tools for coordinating and delivering vaccinations to help keep people healthy. BioIQ will manage scheduling, set up and delivery of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s recommended immunizations for employers at onsite employer events. If an employee is unable to attend an onsite event, or if the employer doesn’t meet the minimum vaccine requirement to warrant an onsite clinic, the employee is able to visit a Walmart or Sam’s Club pharmacy for a vaccination. This approach enables an employer to drive program participation and keep its workforce healthy.

Pediatricians Weigh in on Vaccination
The American Academy of Pediatricians (@AmerAcadPeds) asked pediatricians across the country to share why they vaccinate and why they believe it is important.
