Vaccine Info – Adolescents
The California Immunization Coalition supports efforts to promote adolescent immunizations by working with local coalitions and state and national organizations focused on adolescent health. The Coalition works to:
- Identify issues important and/or unique to adolescent immunizations.
- Build relationships with organizations relevant to adolescent immunizations.
- Work with local coalitions to develop community interventions to increase adolescent immunization coverage rates.
If you are interested in CIC efforts to promote Emerging Issues Committee please contact the Emerging Issues Committee Co-Chair Bill Mason, MD at wmason@chla.usc.edu or Randy Bergen, MD at Randy.Bergen@kp.org
