Mapping is a data visualization approach that adds important context to quantitative data; it can spark discussion and drive collaborative planning among community stakeholders with the shared goal of improving vaccine access.
Created in partnership with Community Organized Relief Effort (CORE), this operations manual details the essential components and considerations in establishing and operating vaccination sites in partnership with community stakeholders, and with an eye on equity, access, and cost-effectiveness.
This case study is part of a PIH series on care resource coordination for COVID-19. North Carolina’s resource coordination is unique in its use of multiple interrelated programs, direct financing of social supports, and support of COVID-19 cases and contacts without directly integrating with contact tracing systems. Care resource coordination facilitates the social, material, and other supports that COVID-19 cases and contacts need to safely isolate or quarantine.
This facilitation guide can help you organize and host a town hall in your community, to disseminate information and address questions and concerns about COVID-19 vaccination.
This session shares practical tools and experiences from a range of programs; we’ll discuss how they have been able to forecast and adapt in a complex supply and regulatory landscape, to staff and resource vaccination sites, to make vaccines accessible to those who may be excluded from typical vaccination opportunities, and to identify useful metrics for distribution that consider social vulnerabilities.
The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed huge gaps in the US public health and health care systems and highlighted the negative effects of hundreds of years of structural inequities and systemic racism. In particular, this pandemic has disproportionately impacted low-income, migrant, Indigenous, incarcerated communities, and communities of color. Programs and policies should create a preferential option for these groups.
A rare and important opportunity to connect communities and individuals into health and public health systems, vaccination campaigns can be leveraged to improve community trust by building sustainable linkages to care and community resources.
An effective public health response to COVID-19 relies on a representative, well-trained and well-managed workforce. We must commit to rapidly and thoughtfully expanding the public health workforce in the United States in response to this pandemic and with an eye toward building stronger public health infrastructure for the future.
