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.
This meeting has already taken place.
In this meeting, IACW leadership shared updates on what they are seeing from families following the dismantling of federal vaccine recommendations. Presenters also shared updates on Hepatitis B infection and immunization rates, and resources for providers managing Hepatitis B in their primary care practices.
All coalition meetings are currently being held virtually.
