National Infant Immunization Week (NIIW) is a yearly observance held in April, highlighting the importance of protecting children two years and younger from vaccine-preventable diseases. NIIW is April 21-28, 2025. CDC and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommend that children stay on track with their well-child appointments and routine vaccinations. On-time vaccination is critical to provide protection against potentially life-threatening diseases. Adolescent Immunization Action Week (AIAW) is a yearly observance held April 7-11, highlighting the importance of adolescent immunizations by encouraging healthcare providers and parents to take action by keeping their adolescents up to date on their recommended vaccines.
Doctors, nurses, physician assistants, and office staff all play a key role in establishing and maintaining a practice-wide commitment to communicating effectively about vaccines and maintaining high vaccination rates.
Parents consider their child's healthcare professionals to be their most trusted source of information when it comes to vaccines.
