National Infant Immunization Week

April 21 through 28 (yep, that's this week) is National Infant Immunization Week (NIIW). The U.S. HHS Dept and the CDC are coming together along with hundreds of communities across the country to support and educate regarding getting infant and childhood vaccinations.

Sadly, as many as 20% of American children are not up to date on vaccinations at age 2. That's a huge number, especially considering that enough unpreventable and uncurable diseases and threats exist against a child's health without putting them at unnecessary risk for additional avoidable illnesses.

This week's official theme, per the NIIW:
"Love them. Protect them. Immunize them."
