Minnesota Department of Health Calls for Immunization Champion Award Nominees

The Association of Immunization Mangers (AIM) is hosting the Immunization Champion Awards this year! The Immunization Champion Award seeks to recognize one individual for their leadership, innovation, collaboration, and or advocacy in flu, COVID-19, HPV, or routine childhood immunizations.

This year, with AIM hosting the Award, they have expanded the eligibility criteria for nominations to create more opportunities to recognize local efforts in immunizations.
