Iowa Immunizes

Iowa Immunizes is a pivotal coalition, spearheaded by dedicated individuals and organizations across Iowa, united by a singular mission: to bolster immunization rates across the state, ensuring every Iowan, regardless of age, has access to lifesaving vaccines. Our vision is a future where vaccine-preventable diseases are a thing of the past, achieved through steadfast education, advocacy, and the fostering of robust statewide partnerships.

The essence of the Immunization Program’s ambition is twofold: to drastically reduce and, in due course, eradicate the occurrence of vaccine-preventable illnesses. This is orchestrated through collaborative efforts with an array of public and private healthcare providers peppered throughout Iowa, aiming for a seamless integration of resources and expertise.

Our collective endeavor is the fortification of Iowa’s immunization defenses, safeguarding both children and adults. Through the dissemination of trustworthy vaccine information and the advocacy of science-driven vaccine policies, we stand united in our commitment to public health.

Operated under the auspices of the Iowa Public Health Association (IPHA), Iowa Immunizes prides itself on its independence, sustained through generous donations and grants, distinct from IPHA’s general funds. This autonomy ensures our flexibility and adaptability in meeting our goals.
