National Immunization Awareness Month (NIAM) is an annual observance held in August to highlight the importance of vaccination for people of all ages. To commemorate NIAM, the Public Health Foundation (PHF), in collaboration with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), has developed a Toolkit for Communicating with Healthcare Providers and a Toolkit for Communicating with Parents and Patients for your use. These toolkits include key messages, sample social media, updated graphics, and educational resources to highlight the benefits of immunization across the lifespan.
