The CDC has prepared a comprehensive online page with information about routine childhood vaccinations, vaccine assessments for adults to review previous immunizations and identify needed vaccines, and educational resources for healthcare professionals. The site also includes educational materials, including graphics with key messages and immunization facts.

National Foundation for Infectious Diseases (NFID)

NFID's website offers a treasure trove of information on immunization, including articles investigating myths about vaccines and misinformation as well as patient testimonials about vaccine safety.

Public Health Foundation (PHF)

The PHF has partnered with the CDC and developed useful online resources, particularly the PHF Immunization Center, to highlight the benefits of immunization across the lifespan. PHF also formed the Immunization Partner Network-a group of immunization, healthcare, and communication professionals engaged in delivering timely messages about immunization events, new resources, and training opportunities.
