Maine Immunization Coalition - 'MIC'

MIC LOGO

The Maine Immunization Coalition (MIC) is a network of associations, health care systems, and providers working to protect Maine people across their lifespan against vaccine-preventable diseases, by increasing immunization rates through information sharing and collaboration.

As a statewide group, we undertake collaborative advocacy on immunization. We are proud of the work that has been accomplished in our state in support of immunization advocacy and policy. We look forward to continuing our efforts to promote evidence-based policies that result in improved immunization rates for children and adults in the State of Maine.

Our current members include:

  • Maine Chapter, American Academy of Pediatrics
  • MaineHealth
  • Maine Primary Care Association
  • Northern Light Health
  • Maine Families for Vaccines
  • Maine Community Action Partnership
  • Maine Medical Association
  • Maine Osteopathic Association
  • Maine Chapter, American Academy of Pediatrics, (Maine AAP), serves as the administrative home of the MIC. For more information, please contact Madeleine DesFosses, Advocacy and Public Health Manager, at madeleine.desfosses@maineaap.org.
