IACW Quarterly Meeting – Winter 2026
The Immunization Action Coalition of Washington (IACW) hosts quarterly coalition meetings that are open to Coalition members and immunization advocates who agree to support the IACW mission and who work to strengthen immunization efforts that are based on evidence-based science. In this meeting IACW leadership will be sharing updates on who they are looking to for immunization guidance including the West Coast Health Alliance and trusted medical associations in light of the political dismantling at the CDC.
All coalition meetings are currently being held virtually.
IACW meetings are recorded and presentations are archived on this website.
