DIGITAL TOOLKIT FOR PARTNERS

To assist partners in our collective efforts to spread the word about the positive impact of vaccination, and to call attention to immunization achievements, we have created this digital toolkit for partners which details events and activities, online resources, sample social media content, and materials. We hope you will find these resources helpful as you engage and promote NIIW messages.

National Infant Immunization Week (NIIW) is an annual observance to highlight the importance of protecting infants from vaccine-preventable diseases and celebrate the achievements of immunization programs and their partners in promoting healthy communities. Since 1994, local and state health departments, national immunization partners, healthcare professionals, community leaders from across the United States, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have worked together through NIIW.

CDC relies heavily on partners like you to promote our messages about the critical role vaccination plays in protecting our children, communities, and public health. This year, NIIW will be observed from April 22—April 29. We encourage you to get involved in NIIW and thank you helping us spread the word about childhood immunizations.
