Immunization Action Month, October 1975

Samuel l. Katz M.D.1

1 Duke University School of Medicine Durham, North Carolina 27710

For the third consecutive year October has been designated as Immunization Action Month (IAM). This is the effort of a coalition of governmental, professional, and private groups to highlight the need for continued attention to the immunization programs of all American children, particularly the pre-school group. The American Academy of Pediatrics since the inception of IAM has been among the leaders in its activities. Once again this year, the members of the Academy are urged to participate actively on the local scene in generating information about the goals of IAM and in implementing them. The justification for continued efforts of this sort must be found in the data on the utilization of vaccines and on the reported cases of those diseases which can be prevented.
