Current Vaccination Efforts & Initiatives  

Don't Wait, Vaccinate Campaign 

Fall and winter are a time when viruses that cause respiratory disease usually circulate more heavily in the community. Vaccination against these respiratory viruses is important for everyone and especially for those who are at higher risk of developing serious complications, including older Americans and those with medical conditions. Vaccines protect our community and players. As we gear up for fall and winter sports make sure you and your family are up to date on all recommended vaccines, including respiratory virus vaccines. Don’t Wait, Vaccinate! 

The Immunization Division partner with colleges and universities athletic departments, ESPN, and select high schools throughout Alabama to raise awareness on the significance of vaccines.

Back to School Campaign 

As parents prepare to send their children back to school, routine vaccinations are a great tool to keep kids healthy, in school, and ready to learn. Children are required to be up to date on vaccines that protect against diseases including chickenpox, whooping cough, polio and measles. CDC and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommend children catch up on routine childhood vaccinations and get back on track for school, childcare, and beyond.  

Routine Immunizations on Schedule for Everyone (RISE)

Let's RISE is a CDC initiative to provide actionable strategies, resources, and data to support getting all Americans back on-schedule with their routine immunizations to protect everyone from vaccine-preventable diseases and disability.
