August 2024 marked the campaign's third RIZE Action Month, where groups "took action" to improve routine adult immunization rates. Many participants gathered healthcare professionals within their organizations to discuss engaging specialty providers to improve adult immunization rates. Others chose to participate in alternate activities, such as preparing for fall flu clinics or focusing on staff education leading up to respiratory season.

Groups were provided all necessary materials for their events (see below), and up to $100 in reimbursement for event food and drinks.
