IMMUNIZATION & VACCINATIONS
Programs and Services
OUR PROGRAM
The CNMI Immunization Program works to protect the health of our community by providing safe, effective, and timely vaccinations for children, adolescents, and adults across the CNMI.
Vaccinations are one of the biggest successes of public health by stopping the spread of viruses and preventing severe illness and saving lives . Through a variety of routine immunization services, such as outreach efforts through strong partnerships and education/awareness through trusted messengers, the program helps prevent vaccine-preventable diseases and promotes healthier communities on Saipan, Tinian, and Rota.
