According to the 2012 National Immunization Survey, Hawaii is first in the nation when it comes to childhood vaccinations. We are so proud to be part of the efforts to ensure that our keiki are protected and stay healthy!
Mahalo to our Board President for sharing this and to all of our members and partners who believe that no one should suffer from vaccine-preventable diseases!
HIC and other organizations nationwide are working together to support National Immunization Awareness Month. During the month of August, we are encouraging keiki and adults to get their recommended vaccines. For more information, click here.
In commemoration of World Hepatitis Day on July 28, HIC wants to remind everyone to know their hepatitis B status! If you were born in Asia or the Pacific Islands and/or if you are living with diabetes, you should get screened for hepatitis B. If you don’t have immunity, make sure to get vaccinated!
