To improve awareness of adult immunizations among health care providers and the general community, the California Adult Immunization Coalition (CAIC) is supporting a collaborative, statewide effort to observe
NATIONAL ADULT IMMUNIZATION AWARENESS WEEK
September 24th through September 30th, 2006
Adult Immunizations. It’s Your Best Shot!
CAIC promotes this national observance by developing and adopting materials and resources that you and other stakeholders in immunization can use and distribute.
The 2006 CAIC/NAIAW Planning Committee has screened and collected tools that are appropriate for your use during NAIAW 2006. The committee has also developed a series of customizable tools, including:
- Two fully scripted and CME ready slide presentations that provide a comprehensive review of adult immunization
- Customizable media tools, including adaptable Templates for Opinion/Editorial submissions and Press Releases
- A set of materials local stakeholders can use to promote Healthcare Worker vaccination in nearby facilities.
- A list of additional resources available on the web
At the state level, the Planning Committee has also developed and distributed a press release to major media outlets – though we encourage you to use the enclosed media tools to contact media outlets near you. Repetition does not hurt and the media is sometimes more inclined to listen to a local source.
To support our work, please cite CAIC as a supporter of your adult immunization efforts

We thank you for observing NAIAW 2006 – another step towards prevention of the deaths and disability that vaccine-preventable diseases annually cause among adults in California.
