During the pandemic, we have seen routine vaccination rates decline significantly across all populations, putting individuals at risk of contracting vaccine-preventable diseases. The pandemic has also brought significant public attention to vaccines and now, perhaps more than ever before, many see the value of life-saving vaccines as one of the most effective public health prevention tools available to keep us safe and help end the pandemic.<a href=\"https:\/\/nclnet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/NFID-Adult-Vaccination-Infographic-PDF-2.2021-FINAL.pdf\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright wp-image-21090\" src=\"https:\/\/nclnet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/NFIC-infographic-221x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"329\" height=\"447\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nclnet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/NFIC-infographic-221x300.png 221w, https:\/\/nclnet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/NFIC-infographic-760x1030.png 760w, https:\/\/nclnet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/NFIC-infographic-768x1040.png 768w, https:\/\/nclnet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/NFIC-infographic-1134x1536.png 1134w, https:\/\/nclnet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/NFIC-infographic-1107x1500.png 1107w, https:\/\/nclnet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/NFIC-infographic-520x705.png 520w, https:\/\/nclnet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/NFIC-infographic.png 1218w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 329px) 100vw, 329px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The National Foundation for Infectious Diseases (NFID) and the National Consumers League (NCL) are committed to educating people about how to live healthier, safer lives.
