Association of Immunization Managers

What Association of Immunization Managers does

The Association of Immunization Managers (AIM) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit membership association founded in 1999 and headquartered in Rockville, Maryland. It exclusively represents the directors of the 64 federally funded state, territorial, and local public health immunization programs across the United States (50 states, 8 U.S. territories and freely-associated states, and 6 major U.S. cities). AIM's mission is to enable collaboration among immunization managers to reduce, eliminate, or eradicate vaccine-preventable diseases. The organization is governed by its member program directors and has been funded since 2015 through cooperative agreements with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), supplemented by membership dues.

AIM's service portfolio is delivered as member resources rather than as a unified software platform. Core offerings include the Reach 360 Learning Management System for training, the iREACH Hub for health-equity resources, the Program Practice Database for peer-shared implementation practices, the Vaccine Confidence Toolkit, the Connecting the Dots resource guides, AIM Policy Maps consolidating state-level policy data, and the Vaccine Implementation Project for new-product readiness. The annual Leadership in Action Conference (scheduled for Tampa, FL in December 2026) and a portfolio of recognition programs — including the AIM Hall of Fame, Bull's-Eye Award, Natalie J. Smith Award, and Immunization Champion Awards — anchor member engagement.

AIM's go-to-market is membership-based and sales-light: direct engagement with government immunization program directors, supplemented by an AIM Corporate Alliance (Virtual Exhibit Hall, Product and Service Directory) that monetizes industry access to the member audience. The organization also runs public-policy advocacy, including coalition letters with ASTHO requesting federal funding (e.g., an $8.4 billion joint request for COVID-19 and influenza operations) and public statements on CDC immunization recommendations. It has no disclosed commercial revenue, no app, no API, and no proprietary AI/ML capabilities.
