Immunizations Committee
Mission
The MDAAP Immunizations Committee is dedicated towards protecting all children in Maryland from vaccine preventable illnesses. We strive to promote increased education and access to immunizations in order to allow for timely administration of vaccines according to the CDC recommended schedules. We seek to provide education and guidance for both clinicians and families regarding the safety and efficacy of immunizations, and to advocate for increased access to vaccines for all of Maryland’s children.
Vision
To provide access for safe and timely administration of all recommended immunizations for the children of Maryland.
