National Vaccine Information Center

The National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC) is a national, non-profit (501C3) educational organization founded by parents of vaccine injured children in 1982. NVIC is the oldest and largest parent-led organization advocating reformation of the mass vaccination system in the U.S. and disseminating information on vaccines and infectious diseases. NVIC informs the public about how to minimize the risks of vaccination and empowers individuals to make well-considered vaccine benefit and risk decisions. In addition to maintaining the International Memorial to Vaccine Victims, NVIC publishes a free E-news newsletter which summarizes media reports and the latest developments in new vaccine research and promotion, mandatory vaccination law policy changes and other political events which affect the ability of citizens to make informed, voluntary vaccination decisions. NVIC President Barbara Loe Fisher writes commentaries for the E-news.
