Community Goals

Immunization: one of modern

medicine’s greatest success stories

According to the CDC, vaccines save an estimated 42,000 lives every year in the U.S. alone.

That's THREE TIMES more than seatbelts and child restraints combined.

WE ALL DESERVE A HEALTHY FUTURE

The Story of Joey Holt

Video testimonial from our partners at Families Fighting Flu.

Consider the tragic case of Joey Holt, a caring 6-year-old boy who passed away from the swine flu in 2009. As easy as it is for parents to not understand the risks of not getting their children vaccinated, we must not make these mistakes ever again.

Vaccination prevents between 2 and 3 million deaths every year (World Health Organization). Despite this, some families simply never think to get their children vaccinated due to rural circumstances or misinformation.

Saving a life costs Very, very little

Vaccines are highly cost-effective:

Vaccinated children born between 1994 and 2018 has saved the U.S. nearly $406 billion in direct medical costs and $1.88 trillion in total society costs (CDC).
The Australian measles vaccination program in the 1980s and 1990s was shown to have a benefit to cost ratio of a staggering 167:1.
For every one dollar spent on immunization, sixteen dollars is saved on healthcare costs, lost wages, and productivity due to illness (Gavi).
