"What a great opportunity! This is an easy way for our department to have an impact beyond our doors.”

Children's Health Coalition
The Children’s Health Coalition is a healthcare provider-driven initiative to increase equitable access to vaccines and fill in critical gaps in coverage. By leveraging our collective goodwill, we can make significant strides towards closing the immunization gap and ensuring that more children receive the protection they need to thrive.
The value of vaccines goes far beyond the prevention of illness and disease. Good health is a gateway to improved educational outcomes, gender equity, and social and economic prosperity.
Yet, worldwide one in five children go without
the protection of vaccines each year.
