Who we are
The Miami‑Dade Immunization Coalition is a community partnership dedicated to strengthening vaccination efforts across Miami‑Dade County. We bring together organizations from the public and private sectors to review local immunization data, discuss challenges, share best practices, and coordinate strategies that help protect children and adults from vaccine‑preventable diseases.
Through education, outreach, and collaborative action, the Coalition works to increase vaccination coverage and support a healthier Miami‑Dade community.
Purpose

To share educational resources to Health Care Professionals and the community about vaccine preventable diseases, updates on local activities and events promoting vaccination, as well as connect with other organizations and leaders in the community interested on raising the levels of immunizations in Miami Dade.
Our Mission
To collaborate with and support the public health, to increase immunization through education, networking and sharing best practices and to develop, implement and monitor immunization strategies aimed at providing complete protection against vaccine preventable diseases.
