Call to ActionHelp us protect children by doing what you can to get kids caught up on recommended vaccines. During the last few years, there was a concerning drop in routine immunizations for children and adolescents. Routine vaccination coverage is rebounding, but unevenly and has not yet recovered among all groups. 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.Catch up on Well-Child Visits and Recommended VaccinationsHappy child in a lion custome.
