What You Can Do

  • It is important that all persons are immunized on time for all vaccines for which they are eligible.
  • Providers should take advantage of the programs offered by the IAP to enhance immunization services for their patients.

Immunization Action Program

The Immunization Action Program (IAP) is a grant-funded program aimed at reducing or eliminating vaccine preventable diseases in Montgomery County by evaluating and improving immunization rates in infants under the age of three. Services for providers include continuing education programs, monthly newsletters, a quality assurance program (AFIX), and other educational materials/presentations.

Providers or parents interested in more information or wanting to schedule a program should contact the IAP Nurse during normal business hours.

Common Questions

What is the AFIX program?

What about confidentiality?
The assessment is confidential, non-judgmental, and HIPAA compliant.
Can you come to our office and provide education/training for our staff?
