RECENT NEWS & ANNOUNCEMENTS

NIIW 2022 Banner

North GA - National Infant Immunization Week (NIIW) is April 24 – 30, 2022. Each year, NIIW focuses on the positive impact of vaccination on the lives of infants and children — and this year it’s a priority to ensure that families stay on track for routine checkups and vaccinations following disruptions from COVID-19.

On-time vaccination is critical to help provide protection against potentially life-threatening diseases.

During NIIW, the North Georgia Health District encourages residents to remind their loved ones and community members to schedule children’s routine well-child visits and vaccinations. Contact your Health Department in North Georgia in Cherokee, Fannin, Gilmer, Murray, Pickens or Whitfield County to arrange an appointment for your child, or call your child's private healthcare provider.
