Mission
To proactively safeguard the health of adults in Rhode Island by promoting widespread uptake of recommended vaccines, facilitating equitable access to immunization services, actively working to reduce the burden of vaccine-preventable diseases, and continuously improving the quality and effectiveness of vaccine delivery.
