The Chicago Area Immunization Campaign (CAIC), a project of the Illinois Maternal & Child Health Coalition (IMCHC), is hosting the 9th National Conference on Immunization and Health Coalitions (NCIHC). The conference will be held at the Westin River North Hotel in downtown Chicago from May 26-28, 2010.
