Dear NPNY members and friends,

We would like to extend an invitation for you to join an upcoming New York City Adult Immunization Coalition meeting. The New York City (NYC) Adult Immunization Coalition is comprised of vaccine stakeholders such as medical facilities, healthcare and managed care organizations, federal, state and city government agencies, community-based organizations, colleges, universities, chain and independent pharmacies, and vaccine manufacturers as well as Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) staff from the Bureau of Immunization and other bureaus.
