NH Immunization Program

“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” 
        - Benjamin Franklin

The primary goal of the Immunization Initiative is to maximize the number of North Country youth who receive immunizations against vaccine-preventable disease, as recommended by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and the New Hampshire Immunization Program. The Immunization Program Coordinator works within the region of Coos and Northern Grafton counties with healthcare providers, school districts, businesses and communities.
