Both the form and the user’s guide for Activity 1 are under ‘Quick Links’ at the top of the webpage at excite.org/immunization. This is just a reminder that June 30th is the deadline for June 2021 Activity 1 reports. We are aware that largely your report for this month will include the demographic data about your project.
