History
Formerly I-3, the San Diego Immunization Coalition (SDIC) has been active since 1991, making it one of the oldest continuously operating immunization coalitions in the nation. SDIC celebrated its 25th year anniversary during the Spring Summit 2016, with two keynote speakers: Dr. Sarah Royce, Chief of the Immunization Branch from the California Department of Public Health, and Dr. Richard Pan, CA State Senator who authored SB 277.
2023 Steering Committee
SDIC Steering Committee members commit to one calendar year beginning January.
This advisory group helps the Executive Committee make thoughtful decisions for SDIC's biannual meeting topics, biannual summits, short- and long-term goals, branding, and other activities that support SDIC mission statement.
