The Friday Five – National Immunization Awareness Month

Aug 9, 2019 | Posted by Annmarie Budniak | Celebrations - Awareness, HIT Feed |

Follow and join the conversation with #NIAM19 and #ivax2protect.

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.

Everyone Plays a Role in Improving Immunization Rates and Preventing Outbreaks
Childhood immunization rates in the United States remain high overall. Most parents — approximately 92% — choose to vaccinate their children. Yet, in some geographic pockets across the United States, an increasing number of parents are choosing to decline or delay childhood vaccines, leaving these communities vulnerable to outbreaks of diseases like measles observes Adm. Brett P. Giroir, M.D., Assistant Secretary for Health.

To mark National Immunization Awareness Month, @HHS_ASH discusses the value of vaccines for people of all ages, and the steps everyone can take to improve immunization rates and prevent outbreaks: https://t.co/PklAfs7lQU #ivax2protect #ThursdayMotivation pic.twitter.com/E4EowoAsOv

Vaccines are Safe. Vaccines are Effective. Vaccines Save Lives.
The American Academy of Pediatrics provides helpful tools and resources on the importance and power of immunizations.  The organization encourages use of these tools to share messages with your networks.

McFarland Clinic on Pregnancy and Vaccines
During pregnancy, vaccinations are an important part of staying healthy. Getting vaccinated during pregnancy also helps you pass protection to your baby. Pregnancy is also a good time to start learning about vaccines to protect your unborn baby and your child after birth.

Valuing Vaccinations Across Generations
Valuing Vaccinations Across the Generations is an awareness campaign launched by Generations United in partnership with The Gerontological Society of America and the American Academy of Pediatrics. This campaign bridges the importance of immunizations within segmented groups into an intergenerational conversation within families and among generations. It is an international effort that promotes vaccinations through a lifespan approach by providing tools and resources to encourage intergenerational conversations. Use #bandAGEofhonor to follow the campaign.

This National Immunization Awareness Month, we remember that vaccines are seat belts against illness. Learn more at https://t.co/ez4UuvX1tr. #bandAGEofhonor #NIAM #NIAM19 pic.twitter.com/CUhmeCl7dw
