August is National Adult Immunization Awareness Month
August is right around the corner. Be sure to access the 2017 National Adult Immunization Awareness toolkit to devise a plan to promote the importance of immunizations with your staff, patients and family members.
The 2017 edition contains key messages, vaccine information, sample news releases and articles, sample social media messages, links to web resources from CDC and other organizations, and logos, web banners, posters and graphics to use with social media.
The toolkit also includes a media outreach resources and a place for you to share your NIAM activities and view what other are doing for NIAM. (#NIAM17)
Use the toolkit to design your own promotions. Mix and match, copy or adapt the contents to fit the particular news and issues of your own organization or community. Get started now to demonstrate and emphasize the importance of immunizations for all persons.
