PUBLIC-PRIVATE IMMUNIZATION PARTNERSHIPS
The development of lasting public-private partnerships is essential to the success of our health care delivery system. Immunization partnerships, in particular, work to support health care professionals in delivering immunization services in a high-quality, low-cost manner, and can provide effective strategies for increasing immunization coverage. In recognition of the important role that public-private partnerships play in the delivery of immunizations to children, the AAP has chosen to highlight the following successful public-private partnerships!
