National Infant Immunization Week (NIIW) is observed yearly the last week of April. This week serves as a great reminder of the importance of continuing to educate and encourage routine vaccinations, especially for vulnerable infants.

In the United States, HPV is estimated to cause about 36,000 cases of cancer each year, or...

Local health department (LHD) immunization programs have been working hard to ensure COVID-19 vaccines are available to all people in their communities. NACCHO spoke with two LHDs in Minnesota—Goodhue County Health and Human Services and Polk County Public Health— about how they have reached priority populations in their areas. Their strategies and approaches can help other LHDs do the same.
