Sample National Infant Immunization Week 2017 Email Message This is both an introduction to the observances and can also be used to promote the observances to others. Last year saw 26 mumps cases reported in the County, the highest reported number in years. A measles case was reported here in March, 2017. Pertussis continues to occur locally, and influenza continues to make San Diegans sick. They are reminders that our children, especially infants and toddlers, need vaccine protection to help them stay healthy. And that’s what National Infant Immunization Week (April 22-29, 2017) and Toddler Immunization Month (May, 2017) are all about. National Infant Immunization Week (NIIW) is a California observance to promote the importance of infant immunizations to protect babies against diseases like measles, flu and pertussis (whooping cough). Toddler Immunization Month (TIM) promotes the importance of vaccination in protecting the health of toddlers. The County of San Diego Health and Human Services Agency urges parents to make sure their infants and toddlers are immunized against diseases. These observances are a natural fit with Live Well San Diego, a countywide initiative to improve the health and well-being of our community. When people choose to get immunized against vaccine-preventable diseases, they build better health in their community, contributing to the Live Well San Diego vision of a Healthy, Safe and Thriving San Diego County. The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recommends vaccines to protect infants and toddlers against 14 serious diseases. Those diseases include measles, whooping cough, polio, pneumococcal, Hib meningitis and flu. Please share these messages about infant and toddler immunizations. You can help protect the health of the babies and young children in your life and work towards the Live Well San Diego vision of a Healthy, Safe and Thriving San Diego County. Visit the County Immunization Program website at for more information about vaccines and the diseases they prevent. Thank you!
