The Communication Initiative
After nearly 28 years, The Communication Initiative (The CI) Global is entering a new chapter. Following a period of transition, the global website has been transferred to the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) in South Africa, where it will be administered by the Social and Behaviour Change Communication Division. Wits' commitment to social change and justice makes it a trusted steward for The CI's legacy and future.
 
Co-founder Victoria Martin is pleased to see this work continue under Wits' leadership. Victoria knows that co-founder Warren Feek (1953–2024) would have felt deep pride in The CI Global's Africa-led direction.
 
We honour the team and partners who sustained The CI for decades. Meanwhile, La Iniciativa de Comunicación (CILA) continues independently at cila.comminitcila.com and is linked with The CI Global site.

Adult Immunization Public Service Announcements (PSAs) [Video Format]

0 comments

The Pennsylvania Department of Health, the Pennsylvania Immunization Coalition, and several coalitions in the south-eastern part of Pennsylvania (PA), United States (US) have collaborated to produce two public service announcements (PSAs) about adult immunisation. These PSAs explain the reasons why adults may need vaccinations. The PSAs, online or in DVD format, include explanations by public health officials and several case studies of adults discussing the situations in their lives that called for vaccination.



The Adult Immunization website of the PA Department of Health offers further information, including:

  • Adult Vaccination Schedules and Information
  • What Vaccines do Adults need? (in quiz format)
  • What are the recommended vaccines for Adults?
  • Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) 2010 Recommended Adult Vaccine Schedule
  • Adult & Older Adult Vaccine Schedule
  • Summary of Recommendations for Adult Immunization (information on vaccine name and for whom it is recommended)
  • Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) Recommendations
  • The interactive web-based adult immunisation scheduler for people 19 years of age and older
  • A list of Vaccine Preventable Diseases for Adults
