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.
