Nurses Who Vaccinate (NWV) is a New York-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization headquartered at 65 East Hoffman Avenue, Unit #1526, Lindenhurst, New York. Founded in 2011 by Melody Butler, BSN, RN, CIC, an Infection Preventionist, the organization operates as a nurse-driven advocacy collective whose membership comprises registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, nurse practitioners, physicians, and parents. Its stated mission is to provide evidence-based research about immunization and critical public health resources that enable vaccine advocates to operate inside workplaces, communities, and on social media.

Core offerings include an evidence-based vaccine education resource library, a newsletter and online community membership, the Vaccine Journey informational platform, a continuing education catalog that links to CDC Pink Book, Meningitis B Action Project modules, Immunization NetConferences, and the You Call the Shots training, the NWV Blog, and annual awareness campaigns such as National Influenza Vaccination Week. No application, API, SDK, or AI/ML components are disclosed; distribution is entirely through self-serve digital channels.

NWV generates revenue solely through tax-deductible contributions from supporters, with donations processed via PayPal. The organization has no membership fee structure, no programmatic revenue, no disclosed grants, and no parent company; ownership commentary indicates it is founder-controlled with a six-person executive board. Headcount is reported as 11-50, and the organization operates without disclosed funding rounds, M&A, or investor capital.
