RIZE Action Month
Rise to Immunize® (RIZE) Action Month is around the corner! RIZE Action Month is our campaign’s annual observance held in August in conjunction with National Immunization Awareness Month. The observance aims to mobilize campaign participants to take action to advance our goal of 30 million vaccines administered by 2027 through comprehensive and equitable vaccine initiatives. This year, we’re focusing on encouraging a culture of vaccination within your organizations.
To take action:
1. RSVP to RIZE.
2. Complete the “I’m vaccinated because…” signs (either synchronously or asynchronously).
3. Take photos with your completed signs and share with RIZE!
4. If needed, submit for reimbursement up to $100 for supplies or team snacks by Friday, September 12.

August 2023 marked the campaign's second RIZE Action Month, where groups "took action" to prepare their care teams for respiratory season. Specifically, participants gathered healthcare professionals within their organizations to discuss team-based approaches to closing vaccine care gaps—with a focus on influenza and pneumococcal vaccines.
Groups were provided all necessary materials for their events (see below), and up to $1,000 in reimbursement for event food and drinks.
2023 RIZE Action Month engaged 600+ healthcare professionals across 28 AMGA member groups in conducting discussions around team-based approaches to closing immunization care gaps. For more information and details about group participation, view the 2023 RIZE Action Month Wrap Report.

During our inaugural RIZE Action Month in August 2022, AMGA member groups “took action” to strengthen their vaccine recommendations. Participants gathered their immunization teams to watch the “5 Strategies to Strengthen Your Vaccine Recommendations” video and to discuss its application in their practices. Groups were provided all necessary materials for their events (see below), and up to $100 for event food and drinks.
The inaugural RIZE Action Month mobilized 28 AMGA member groups, engaging over 1,200 healthcare professionals in discussions around making strong vaccine recommendations. For more information and details about group participation, view the 2022 RIZE Action Month Wrap Report.
