NIAM is an annual observance held in the month of August to highlight the important impact that vaccines have on protecting patients of all ages against vaccine-preventable diseases.

We know the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted all aspects of life, including your ability to attend important appointments and receive routine vaccinations. During NIAM, we encourage you to talk to your doctor, nurse, or healthcare provider to ensure you and your family are protected against serious diseases by getting caught up on routine vaccination.

Lastly, the North Shore Health Department will be sharing information and resources on social media to highlight the importance of vaccines. Help us spread the word! Follow the conversation on social media and use the hashtag #ivax2protect to share why you choose to get vaccinated.

As your children head back to school this fall, it’s particularly important for you to work with your child’s doctor or nurse to make sure they get caught up on missed well-child visits and recommended vaccines.

With schools now back to in-person learning, efforts must be made to ensure that all school-aged children are up to date on their routine vaccines, have received recommended COVID-19 vaccines, and routine vaccination coverage is equitably distributed.

During the 2020-2021 school year, the national vaccination coverage among kindergarten children dropped by about 1% from the previous year—that amounts to 35,000 more children without vaccination documents. Therefore, routine childhood vaccinations are an important way to ensure that your child and community remain healthy and protected against serious diseases like measles, whooping cough, and COVID-19.

The North Shore Health Department (NSHD) maintains an immunization program to prevent and control vaccine-preventable diseases. Under this program, NSHD provides immunizations to residents without medical insurance, to those on Medicaid and to those whose insurance does not cover vaccines. Please contact our office to check availability and make a vaccination appointment by calling 414-371-2980 or emailing: nshd@nshealthdept.org.

Health insurance typically covers vaccinations, so check with your child’s physician about getting them immunized.
