The Norwalk Health Department's Immunization Action Plan (IAP) Program works with medical clinics and physician offices to ensure that all area children receive age appropriate immunizations by their second birthday. The program also provides education and develops initiatives to promote recommended vaccinations for older children and adults.

In addition to promoting and educating medical providers and the community about life-saving vaccines, the IAP staff act as the state representatives for CT's Immunization Information System, CT WiZ, a state program that requires physicians to report all childhood vaccines
