Since 1994, National Infant Immunization Week (NIIW) has served as a call to action for parents, caregivers, and healthcare providers to ensure infants are fully immunized against vaccine-preventable diseases.  During 2009, hundreds of communities across the United States will join people all over the Western Hemisphere and Europe to observe:

• National Infant Immunization Week (NIIW)
