[Go to Translation] Overview
 In addition to the Russian ethnic community settled by immigrants in the early part of the 20th century, recent waves of immigrants and refugees from the former Soviet Union have added to the Russian-speaking population of Pittsburgh. The latter population numbers about 3,000. These newest Russian-speaking immigrants settled primarily in Squirrel Hill and Greenfield, although many have moved to the suburbs.
 This is a vibrant community, engaged in a wide variety of professions (including small business ownership, engineering, health care, computer science and almost any other profession that comes to mind) and interested in a number of recreational and cultural activities. Russian-language TV is available in Pittsburgh. In addition, there are a number of other cultural resources. For example, there is a small Russian library at the Jewish Community Center in Squirrel Hill. Russian movies can be rented at the Russian food market. Music groups and theater groups from Russia are invited to perform here, and there are some small local groups that meet to discuss cultural topics. Other kinds of services for the Russian-speaking community are listed below.

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
