      RIZE Action Month

      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 improving adult immunization rates. This year, the observance will support participating AMGA members in learning evidence-based communication techniques to engage patients in trust-building conversations about vaccination.

      To "take action," follow the steps below:

      1. Save the Date. Select a date and time to assemble your immunization team for a 30- to 60- minute meeting (in-person or virutally) during the month of August. You could also add this action to the agenda for a standing team meeting in August! Use the Staff Invitation Template to communicate meeting details and invite your team. 
      2. RSVP to RIZE. Let us know that your organization will be taking action.
      3. Review the Participation Guide. Consult our Participation Guide for tips on planning and implementing a RIZE Action Month meeting, including identifying a leader, selecting a space or platform (for virtual meetings), and arranging for food and drink.
      4. Host the Meeting!  5. Submit Reimbursement. Send RiseToImmunize@amga.org your Reimbursement Form along with a team photo and receipts by Sept. 30 to receive up to $100 for the meal, snacks, beverages, or gift cards (for virtual meetings) provided during the meeting.

      August 2025 marked the fourth annual RIZE Action Month, our campaign’s annual observance held in conjunction with National Immunization Awareness Month. This observance aimed to mobilize campaign participants to take action to advance our goal of 30 million vaccines administered by 2027 through comprehensive and equitable vaccine initiatives. In 2025, RIZE Action Month focused on encouraging a culture of vaccination within organizations through the creation of personalized “I’m vaccinated because…” signs. 

      Groups were provided with all the necessary materials for sign creation (see below), and up to $100 in reimbursement for supplies. 

      2025 RIZE Action Month engaged 34 organizations—including 23 AMGA member groups, 8 RIZE partners, and 3 RIZE sponsors. For more information and to learn why leading healthcare professionals choose to vaccinate, view the 2025 RIZE Action Month Highlights Video.
