USA | This 20th anniversary of National Infant Immunization Week (NIWW) - April 26-May 3, 2014 - brings together partners and advocates to
highlight the importance of protecting infants from vaccine-preventable
diseases. It’s also a time to celebrate the achievements of immunization
programs in promoting healthy children, families and communities.
Text4baby promotes infant immunization year-round with
immunization reminders and information for pregnant women and new moms. This
past fall, Text4baby also sent a special series of interactive, educational
messages about the importance of the flu shot for pregnant women, moms and
infants over six months. These text messages connected moms to resources for
low-cost flu shots, and more than 16,000 coupons for a free flu shot were sent
to participants who live near a Rite Aid store.
