Let's Catch Up! #NIAM

AUGUST 2023

 
 

Families and communities around the world have entrusted vaccines to protect their loved ones for many years. Each year, we recognize National Immunization Awareness Month to highlight the importance of routine vaccinations for people of all ages.

 

Although routine vaccines are among the most effective ways to prevent many life-threatening diseases, many people missed them during the pandemic and need to catch up. Read about JSI’s recent work to support catch up activities nationally and abroad, and find our resources below.

Encouraging Routine Childhood Vaccinations through a Behavior Change Campaign


Vaccination rates among school-age children in the U.S. have fallen since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. Misinformation and disinformation about vaccines—particularly COVID-19—may be fueling this continued decline. Health communication increases parents’ and caregivers’ confidence in the safety and efficacy of routine childhood vaccines. In partnership with Circlepoint, JSI designed and implemented a behavior change campaign in response to declining vaccination rates among children in California’s Bay Area.

Building Vaccine Confidence

 

The Vaccine Confidence Project works to ensure that all residents are protected against vaccine-preventable diseases.

The project and its partners the Massachusetts Adult Immunization Coalition, the MA Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics, and MA DPH Immunization Division, just released its August newsletter, which has resources for increasing vaccine confidence.
