What We Do

The Immunization Partnership helps individuals, physicians, and others with an interest in immunization to make smart choices about protecting our community from vaccine-preventable diseases.

Why We Do It

Every year, roughly 3 million people die from vaccine-preventable diseases, and countless more suffer life-long disabilities. We believe in preventing what's preventable.

    Originally published in the CBS Austin


    AUSTIN, Texas — On Tuesday, advocates and lawmakers from both sides of the aisle gathered on the steps of the Texas Capitol for a rally supporting vaccinations.

    The groups Immunize Texas and The Immunization Partnership organized the rally, to push the importance of vaccinations and herd immunity, and the need for legislation that improves transparency with schools and child care centers when it comes to vaccination rates.

    State Representatives Donna Howard, Sarah Davis, J.D. Sheffield, and Michelle Beckley joined the rally, echoing these sentiments.

    "We've been back session after session with your help, trying to make sure we have common sense laws put in place that protect the public good and the public health," Howard said.

    Last week, the House passed an amendment to a bill that would look into updating vaccination data with schools and child care facilities.

    A recent study in the Lancet Public Health shows that rates of cervical cancer in Australia are plummeting, as are deaths from that cancer, which kills 34,000 women a year in the United States. The reason is two-pronged and within the reach of every government in the developed world: Australia screens women rigorously to catch cancer before it starts, and even more important, it has an active immunization program to provide teenage boys and girls with the vaccine against human papillomavirus, the virus responsible for most cases of cervical cancer.
