Issues
Improve Our Nation’s Immunization Ecosystem
Each year, Vaccinate Your Family publishes the State of the ImmUnion® report mapping out recommendations to improve our nation’s vaccination programs and coverage rates. Share these recommendations with Congress today!
Conduct Oversight on the Vaccine Schedule
On January 5, the CDC leadership announced big changes to our country’s childhood immunization schedule. With record-breaking outbreaks nationwide, Congress should conduct oversight of these actions and protect our communities from vaccine-preventable diseases.
Protect Access to Vaccines in States
Federal changes to the immunization schedule can have real impacts in states for vaccine access and uptake. State legislatures can act to protect vaccine access and evidence-based immunization recommendations in their communities.
Cover Lifesaving Vaccines
The Protecting Free Vaccines Act (H.R. 5448/S. 2857) aims to ensure vaccines continue to be covered without out-of-pocket costs. Tell Congress to support the Protecting Free Vaccines Act.
Fully Fund Immunization Programs
Section 317 of the Public Health Code provides money to state and local health departments to fund vaccine education campaigns, clinic hours and staff, control outbreaks, and much more. It is critical that Congress maintains funding for Section 317.
