Here is some good information to know!

Healthcare professionals like you are an important reasons why we can celebrate high infant immunization rates in this country. According to a national poll conducted by CDC in 2014, a doctor’s recommendation was the #1 reason that parents made sure their child got all of the recommended vaccines. 

NIIW is a great opportunity for the entire practice—including physicians, nurses, and receptionists—to show parents that your practice strongly supports vaccination according to the CDC’s recommended immunization schedule. It’s also a good chance to let parents know that on-time vaccination is the norm, despite what they might hear in the media. According to CDC’s national poll, most parents (86%) said that their youngest child received all of the recommended vaccines at the time they were recommended. This is important information for the parents who may think delaying or refusing vaccines is common practice.
