Currently, Wisconsin has 15 local immunization coalitions, all
focusing on increasing immunization rates and reducing
vaccine-preventable diseases throughout the state. The first local
immunization coalition in Wisconsin started in 1993 in Dane County, with
newer coalitions, such as Columbia County, beginning in 2006.
Initiatives and efforts have included outreach and education to high
risk populations, influenza and pneumococcal vaccination to African
Americans and Hispanics over 65, and the continuing effort to vaccinate
children.
Local Coalitions utilize both federal Healthy
People 2020 goals (external link managed by the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services) and state guidance documents (see State Health Plan 2020) to strive for reaching 2010 immunization objectives.
