We are a coalition of individuals and organizations dedicated to improving vaccination rates for all Iowans through education, advocacy, and statewide partnerships.
The goal of the Immunization Program is to reduce and ultimately eliminate the incidence of vaccine preventable diseases by working in conjunction with public and private health care providers throughout the state.
Iowa Immunizes includes a diverse group of organizations and individuals from across the state, working to protect children and adults by keeping our state’s immunization rates strong, sharing accurate and reliable vaccine information, and promoting science-based vaccine policy.
Iowa Immunizes is facilitated by the Iowa Public Health Association, but is self-sustaining via donations and competitive grants outside of IPHA’s general operating budget.
The work of the Coalition is carried out by are four standing committees:
Iowa Immunizes also has a Scientific Advisory Committee to review all material created and distributed.
