SUMMARY:National Infant Immunization Week - NIIW 2019
DESCRIPTION:This year’s annual observation of National Infant Immunization Week is April 27-May 4\, 2019. \nNIIW highlights the importance of protecting infants from vaccine-preventable diseases and to celebrate the achievements of immunization programs and their partners in promoting healthy communities. \nThis is the 25th anniversary of NIIW. Since 1994\, hundreds of communities across the United States have joined to celebrate the critical role vaccination plays in protecting our children\, communities\, and public health. \nSeveral important milestones in controlling vaccine-preventable diseases among infants worldwide worldwide have already been reached: \n\nVaccines have drastically reduced infant death and disability caused by preventable diseases in the U.S.\nThrough immunization\, we can now protect infants and children from 14 vaccine-preventable diseases before age two\nRoutine childhood immunization in one birth cohort prevents an estimated 381 million illnesses\, 24.5 million hospitalizations\, and 855\,000 early deaths over the course of their lifetimes\, at a net savings of $360 billion in direct costs and $1.65 trillion in total societal costs\nThe National Immunization Survey has consistently shown that childhood immunization rates for vaccines routinely recommended for children remain at or near record levels\n\nOne example of the seriousness of vaccine preventable diseases is an increase in measles cases and outbreaks in the United States in recent years. \nNIIW provides an opportunity to: \n\nHighlight the dangers of vaccine-preventable diseases\, especially to infants and young children\, and the importance and benefits of childhood immunization\nEducate parents and caregivers about the importance of vaccination in protecting their children from birth against vaccine-preventable diseases\nFocus attention on immunization achievements and celebrate the accomplishments made possible through successful collaboration\nStep up efforts to protect children against vaccine-preventable diseases and thereby give them a healthy start in life\nEncourage better communication between parents and healthcare professionals.\nRemind parents and caregivers of the importance of making and keeping needed immunization appointments.\nProvide help to parents and caregivers to locate a healthcare professional who participates in the Vaccines for Children’s program\, a federally funded program that provides vaccinations at no cost to children whose parents cannot afford to pay for them.\n\nNIIW is celebrated as part of World Immunization Week (WIW)\, an initiative of the World Health Organization (WHO). During WIW\, 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.

SUMMARY:EIS 2019 - CDC Epidemic Intelligence Service Conference
DESCRIPTION:CDC’s 68th annual Epidemic Intelligence Service conference starts April 29. Join CDC disease detectives\, alumni\, and the public health community to learn about leading-edge public health investigations. \nThe annual EIS conference is the nation’s premier epidemiology conference where EIS officers share their work in leading-edge investigations\, scientific findings\, and forward-thinking strategies to inform improvements in public health—all while gaining valuable presentation experience. EIS officers engage in professional networking sessions\, recognition ceremonies and various learning opportunities. \nFree and open to the public\, this conference draws a diverse attention each year from various public health sectors around the world—from epidemiology and laboratory science sleuths and public health organizations to EIS alumni\, news media\, and prospective applicants. \nWhen a killer bacterium unleashes an outbreak on a beach town\, unlikely partners work to find the water source.
