ID 26-1150: Proclamation for “Immunization Awareness Month”

Description

Proclamation for “Immunization Awareness Month”

Summary

The City of Fresno proclaimed August 2026 as “Immunization Awareness Month” through Mayor Jerry P. Dyer, Council President Nelson Esparza, and the Fresno City Council. The resolution recognizes vaccines as safe, effective tools that prevent disease, protect vulnerable residents, and reduce community transmission. It highlights UCSF Fresno Mobile HeaL’s COVID-19 Equity Project, which provided more than 82,000 vaccinations and 94,000 tests during the pandemic, particularly for underserved populations. The proclamation does not create new legal requirements; it raises public awareness and recognizes healthcare workers and community partners who expand access to vaccinations and preventive care across Fresno County.
