The NC Immunization Branch promotes public health through the identification and elimination of vaccine-preventable diseases like polio, hepatitis B, measles, chickenpox, whooping cough, rubella (German measles), and mumps. In 1994, North Carolina became a universal vaccine state, meaning it provides vaccines for all children from birth through 18 years of age. In 2001, the Branch incorporated an adult education component into the program to raise awareness of the agelessness of immunizations.
