AIAW26: Start the Conversation
Adolescent Immunization Action Week 2026
Adolescent Immunization Action Week 2026 is April 6-10
Make every choice count for a healthy future—staying up to date on vaccines is one of the most impactful ways to protect yourself and your community. Your doctor, nurse, and pharmacist can apply their medical training and experience to your specific situation to keep you healthy.
During #AIAW26, start the conversation: ask which vaccines you need, and take a simple step to get vaccinated. Protecting tomorrow starts today.
Do you have questions about which vaccines adolescents need?
Read and download our vaccine tip sheet for answers. Talk with your healthcare provider for additional information to feel confident about the vaccines you need.
