National Immunization Awareness Month (NIAM) is an annual observance held in August to highlight the importance of vaccination for people of all ages.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) identified a concerning drop in routine vaccine coverage across the United States during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is critical to ensure that routine vaccination is maintained throughout an individual's lifespan in order to protect themselves and their communities from vaccine-preventable diseases and outbreaks. Routine vaccination prevents illnesses that lead to additional medical visits, hospitalizations, and further strain on the healthcare system.
