National Immunization Awareness Month Banner

National Immunization Awareness Month highlights the importance of routine vaccination for people of all ages. As people across the country prepare for back-to-school season in August, it is vital to remind everyone that receiving all recommended vaccines is the best defense against severe illness.

People from racial and ethnic minority groups tend to have lower rates of vaccination when it comes to receiving recommended vaccines. Many factors can contribute to lower vaccination rates, including limited access to vaccines, concerns about vaccine safety, and health insurance coverage.

This month, help inform your community about the benefits of vaccination and find out which vaccines you and your family may need. Visit the CDC’s Vaccines and Immunization website for more information, resources, immunization schedules, and more. Find more resources on the CDC National Immunization Awareness Month (NIAM) website.
