[Go to Ελληνικές] Overview
 Pittsburgh is home to one of the largest Greek communities within the United States, with close to 40,000 people identifying themselves as having Greek ancestry. Most immigrated to Pittsburgh between 1930-1960, so most are 2nd, 3rd, and 4th generation Greek-Americans. They still remain very active within the community, which is apparent in the region's numerous associations, such as the Pan-Cretan Association, AHEPA, as well as GOYA and YAL for young adults.
 Pittsburgh is also home to numerous Greek Orthodox churches that hold well-attended festivals. There is also a large student body from Greece that studies at Pittsburgh's prestigious Universities.

Vaccine Information Statements
The IAC works to increase immunization rates and prevent disease by creating and distributing educational materials for health professionals and the public that enhance the delivery of safe and effective immunization services. The Coalition also facilitates communication about the safety, efficacy, and use of vaccines within the broad immunization community of patients, parents, health care organizations, and government health agencies.
Click here for language specific Vaccine Information Statements (VIS). VIS are information sheets produced by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that explain to vaccine recipients, their parents, or their legal representatives both the benefits and risks of a vaccine. Federal law requires that VIS be handed out whenever (before each dose) certain vaccinations are given. Immunization Action Coalition
