National Infant Immunization Week

• Immunizations help prevent the spread of diseases and help protect infants, their families, and their communities by preventing and reducing the spread of infectious diseases.
• Among children born between 1994-2018, vaccination will prevent an estimated 419 million illnesses, 26.8 million hospitalizations, and 936,000 deaths over their lifetimes.
• National Infant Immunization Week provides an opportunity to build trust in vaccines through conversations between parents, doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and community members.
