INAAP Supports National Infant Immunization Week - April 21 - April 28, 2012
INAAP is supporting National Infant Immunization Week working in concert with the Indiana Immunization Coalition to orchestrate a media blitz on the importance of childhood immunizations. Working as a group, INAAP has co-signed an op-ed piece and a press release that has been sent to media outlets across Indiana. We are also working to schedule television and radio interviews around the State. INAAP Co-President Sarah Stelzner, MD and INAAP Board Member Charlene Graves, MD have worked on INAAP's behalf on this important project.
The media blitz focuses on the importance of getting Indiana's children immunized, noting that Indiana's immunization rates have been in the bottom half of all states for over 10 years.
On Monday, April 23, Drs. Stelzner and Graves were interviewed in Indianapolis by the Fox 59 television station. They discussed the importance of childhood immunizations. They also discussed upcoming changes to the Indiana's Children's Health Immunization Registry (CHIRP), which will allow schools to access the database to verify children's immunization records.
