Our Mission: 

“The Oregon Adult Immunization Coalition, a statewide network of health and community partners, will promote prevention and control of vaccine-preventable disease through immunization of adults in Oregon and Southwest Washington.”

We are a coalition of individuals, agencies, and programs from the public and private sectors. What we share in common is a vision that no adult living in Oregon and Southwest Washington bear the burden of disease and premature death from vaccine preventable diseases (VPDs).

We educate ourselves about the issues and work to understand the research on how to improve the immunization rates in adults. We share the information with our agencies and partners and work to improve vaccination practices. The OAIC is constantly involved in immunization-promotion projects and is interested in helping address barriers to adults getting immunized.
