Illinois Vaccinates Against COVID-19

Illinois Vaccinates Against COVID-19, more commonly known as I-VAC, began as a coordinated response effort to help health care providers in Illinois integrate COVID-19 vaccines into routine clinical workflows. Starting in 2021, the Illinois Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics, in partnership with ECHO Chicago, and the Illinois Academy of Family Physicians, began developing resources, toolkits, and outreach messaging, and offering live trainings. From August 2021 to June 2024, I-VAC had an incredible impact on the COVID-19 vaccine landscape of Illinois.
