The NAIIS Immunization Excellence Awards recognize the extraordinary contributions of individuals and organizations towards improved vaccination rates within their communities during the past year.

This year’s award recipients have been announced via a news release. Because the annual in-person Summit meeting was cancelled due to COVID-19, this year’s honorees were recognized during the virtual 2020 Immunization Excellence Awards Ceremony held on June 18, 2020. Complete descriptions of the award winners’ activities may be viewed in the 2020 Awards Booklet. A video of the awards ceremony and presentations from each awardee may be found below.
