(Reno, Nev.) April 29, 2014 – The CDC estimates that vaccinations will prevent more than 21 million hospitalizations and 732,000 deaths among children born in the last 20 years. This week is National Infant Immunization Week (NIIW), an annual observance to highlight the importance of protecting infants from vaccine-preventable diseases and to celebrate the achievements of immunization programs to promote healthy communities. As part of NIIW, Immunize Nevada, along with the Nevada State Immunization Program (NSIP) and Southern Nevada Immunization and Health Coalitio (SNIHC), is launching a statewide awareness campaign about the Nevada Vaccines for Children Program.

As part of National Infant Immunization Week (NIIW), Immunize Nevada offers exclusive screening of Invisible Threat.

What: Immunize Nevada offers northern Nevadans a chance to see the highly praised documentary, Invisible Threat. This powerful documentary on vaccines focuses on understanding the science of vaccination and the misconceptions causing parents to delay or decline immunizations. The film provides a unique and engaging perspective that demonstrates the vital skill of asking questions and pursuing the truth behind the falsehoods found in headlines and on the internet. Following the film will be a discussion panel of local public health experts discussing the film and vaccines
