This resolution supports designating the first week of April as "Adolescent Immunization Action Week" and aims to raise awareness about the importance of vaccinations for adolescents and young adults. The resolution highlights several key concerns, including low immunization rates, vaccine hesitancy, and persistent racial and ethnic disparities in vaccine coverage, particularly in rural communities. It recognizes that adolescents and young adults are crucial to the United States' future and deserve protection from preventable illnesses. The resolution calls for active collaboration among federal, state, and local organizations to increase immunization rates, and urges healthcare providers to combat vaccine misinformation. Specifically, it requests that all citizens, community agencies, faith groups, medical institutions, and other organizations support efforts to increase adolescent and young adult vaccinations. The resolution also asks the President to issue a proclamation recognizing Adolescent Immunization Awareness Week and encourages healthcare providers to address medical mistrust in underserved communities. The ultimate goal is to protect individuals and strengthen communities through improved vaccination rates and accurate health information.
