National Infant Immunization Week/Toddler Immunization Month

National Infant Immunization Week (NIIW) and Toddler Immunization Month (TIM) have been celebrated since 1993. They are annual observances that emphasize the need to fully immunize children age 2 and younger against 14 vaccine-preventable diseases. This year's campaign, themed "Immunizations: Stay on Track for a Lifetime of Good Health", encourages a lifetime of good health with timely vaccinations. NIIW will be celebrated the week of April 19-26, 2008 and TIM the month of May, 2008.
