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.
