The Immunization Partnership is making a strong push to engage and empower communities (especially communities impacted by systemic health disparities) to be advocates in the education and health of their people.

The education is focused, not just on vaccine-preventable diseases, but also on how immunizations are part of a person’s overall health. Vaccines are part of a holistic approach in a person’s health, and community involvement is part of a holistic approach in the health of vulnerable populations.

TIP is excited to announce our first immunization art exhibit entitled, The Art of Awareness: A Community’s Self-Portrait of Immunization Health, taking place from May 6th – May 27th, which highlights pieces created by local Houston artists. The purpose of the exhibit is to showcase and prompt a dialogue about the important role vaccines play as a part of a person’s holistic health and the health of the community. In collaboration with MECA Dow Campus located in historic 6th Ward, our goal is to enrich the community through engagement and art.

The opening reception takes place on May 6th from 5:30 PM – 8 PM and is open to the public.
