Immunization Quality Improvement for Providers

Oregon IQIP is part of CDC’s national Vaccines for Children (VFC) provider-level immunization quality improvement (QI) program. It promotes and supports provider-level strategies designed to help increase on-time vaccination of children and adolescents.
