SUMMARY STATEMENT:
Vaccine-preventable diseases still circulate in the United States and around the world, so continued
vaccination is necessary to protect everyone from potential outbreaks. Even when diseases are rare in the
U.S., they can be brought into the country, putting unvaccinated children at risk. This year, National Infant
Immunization Awareness Week will be celebrated as part of the first World Immunization Week, an
initiative of the World Health Organization (WHO) where all six WHO regions, including more than 180
Member States, territories, and areas will simultaneously promote immunization, advance equity in the use
of vaccines and universal access to vaccination services, and enable cooperation on cross-border
immunization activities in April 2020. The week of April 26-May 3, 2020 has been declared National Infant
Immunization Awareness Week to help ensure that children should be protected against 14 vaccine-
preventable diseases by the age of two.
The proclamation, informational flyer, and article are attached.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Proclaim the week of April 26 thru May 3, 2020 as National Infant Immunization Awareness Week in the
City of McCall Idaho and authorize the Mayor to sign the proclamation.
