Adult Immunization Toolkit

After decades of focus on childhood immunization, public health officials are now challenged to improve adult immunization. However, unlike the extensive federal and state infrastructure support around childhood immunization, public health funding for adult vaccine purchase and programming initiatives is more limited. The resource guide, webinars, and additional resources provide snapshots of these efforts and guide to generate ideas and inform management strategies for promoting adult vaccinations across the nation and territories. For even more resources, visit the AIM resource library.
