2021 National Infant Immunization Week (NIIW)
National Infant Immunization Week (NIIW) is April 24 to May 1, 2021. NIIW is an annual observance to highlight the positive impact of vaccination on the lives of infants and children, and this year a priority is to ensure that families stay on track for children's routine checkups and vaccinations, even during COVID-19. As in-person learning and play become more common, on-time vaccination is even more urgent to help provide immunity against 14 diseases with recommended childhood vaccinations.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that routine immunization of children born between 1994 and 2018 will prevent an estimated 419 million illnesses, 26.8 million hospitalizations, and 936,000 early deaths over their lifetimes, at a net savings of $406 billion in direct costs and $1.88 trillion in total economic impact.
The Louisiana Immunization Program encourages organizations to observe NIIW by talking about the importance of childhood immunization through your websites, social media channels and events at the state and local level, using the hashtag #ivax2protect.
