Partnering to Help Protect Babies in the U.S.
Approximately 30 percent of Hispanic and 35 percent of African-American children aged 19-35 months in the U.S. were not vaccinated with all immunizations recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as of 2017. To address health disparities in pediatric vaccinations, Pfizer launched Partnering to Help Protect™, a collaboration between U.S. Pfizer Vaccines, nonprofit organizations and influential local voices to improve vaccine education, awareness and access in underserved communities. Through a diverse mix of activities - health events, public service announcements and social media initiatives - pilot programs in Detroit, Houston, Memphis, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh have reached over 12.6 million people with resources to help protect more babies from vaccine-preventable diseases.
