National Immunization Awareness Month (NIAM) occurs each August to highlight the importance of vaccination in people of all ages and stages. NIAM is all about raising awareness and speaking out on the important role vaccines play in protecting our communities from serious, life threatening diseases. In collaboration with CDC, the organization has created toolkits to help educate people on recommended vaccines by age.
The 2018 edition of the toolkit contains key messages, vaccine information, sample news releases and articles, sample social media messages, links to web resources from CDC and other organizations, and logos, web banners, posters and graphics to use with social media. It also includes a media outreach toolkit and a place for you to share your NIAM activities and view what others are doing for NIAM via the #NIAM18 (NIAM).
To help you get involved, NIAM put together a list of 10 things you can do during August to help spread the word about immunization. To view the 10 things, head to the link below.
