Boost your connections to immunization peers

The Immunization Action Coalition of Washington (IACW) quarterly meeting will be held on April 27, 2022, the same time as National Infant Immunization Week (NIIW). NIIW is a yearly observance highlighting the importance of protecting children two years and younger from vaccine-preventable diseases. This year in particular it’s critical to ensure that families stay on track for children’s routine checkups and recommended vaccinations following disruptions from COVID-19.

UW Medicine will present a new campaign “One Vax Two Lives” to dispel COVID-19 vaccine misinformation for pregnant and breastfeeding individuals. This group continues to make inroads into vaccine hesitancy related to women's health issues including menstruation, fertility, and safety in pregnancy, and breastfeeding. Also, there will be a panel to discuss challenges in vaccinating infants and pregnant women, promoting COVID-19 vaccines among pregnant women, and vaccine access or barriers experienced among this population and resources.
