Oregon Adult Immunization Coalition (OAIC)
Our Mission:  “The Oregon Adult Immunization Coalition, a statewide network of health and community partners, will promote prevention and control of vaccine-preventable disease through immunization of adults in Oregon and Southwest Washington.” What is the O.A.I.C.? We are a coalition of individuals, agencies, and programs from the public and private sectors. What we share in common is a vision that no adult living in Oregon and Southwest Washington bear the burden of disease and premature death from vaccine preventable diseases (VPDs). What the Oregon Adult Immunization Coalition Does: We educate ourselves about the issues and work to understand the research on how to improve the immunization rates in adults. We share the information with our agencies and partners and work to improve vaccination practices. The OAIC is constantly involved in immunization-promotion projects and is interested in helping address barriers to adults getting immunized. Some examples of Coalition Members:

Announcing the 5th Annual Oregon Flu Summit!
Save-the-Date! Please help us by sharing this anouncement with your community and vaccination partners! This no-cost educational meeting is brought to you by the Oregon Adult Immunization Coalition and its supporting agencies.
Our annual Flu Summit will be held on September 30th from 9:30-3:00 at the Monarch Hotel in Clackamas, Oregon. The curriculum will use both lecture and interactive to provide: an overview of influenza, examine State and National efforts to prevent influenza, plenary topics on chronic disease and their relationship with influenza, and interactive workshops on storage, handling, vaccine administration, and handling media contacts. Webinar will be provided for attendees who prefer to participate from their computers.
Our intended audience includes all immunization providers, public health staff, employee health professionals, infection control specialists, hospital administrators, health educators, medical assistants, nursing home and long-term care administrators, tribal health, health professional students, immunizing pharmacists, and other immunizing stakeholders.
See the draft agenda and the date below. For more information, contact the OAIC Coordinator: Bryan Goodin at 971-673-0472, or e-mail bryan.goodin@state.or.us .
The Oregon Flu Summit is an excellent way to promote your organizations services and products to a broad public health, policy maker, and clinical audience. Each year, the Flu Summit brings 150+ immunization stakeholders together for refresher training, vaccination recommendations for the new season, and an update of State and National efforts to prevent influenza. Please help support our efforts by purchasing an exhibit space. Exhibitor Information
