History

The Indiana Adult Immunization Coalition (IAIC) was established as an informal group in 2006. In 2007 the IAIC became incorporated as an Indiana business, and future plans include pursuing federal not-for-profit organization status. The coalition is comprised of individuals representing over 30 organizations committed to reducing mortality and morbidity associated with vaccine-preventable diseases among adults, through medical provider initiatives, public education and support of community resources.
