New
Funding!
The Chicago Area Immunization Campaign is happy to announce that it is
the recipient of two grants from the
Otho S. A. Sprague Memorial Institute to support its
project.
The first grant provides
funding for two years to enhance and expand CAIC’s network, as well as
to ensure that providers are informed about and utilizing I-CARE, a
statewide, web-based immunization registry that electronically tracks
immunization records across the lifespan.
The second grant will allow CAIC to purchase the HPV vaccine and work
with local providers to administer the vaccine to 500 un- and
underinsured women. CAIC will also coordinate community and provider
education sessions around HPV and cervical cancer prevention.
For more information about these projects, please contact Melissa
