Partnering with national organizations to support community-based organizations to increase vaccination coverage across different racial and ethnic adult populations currently experiencing disparities - strengthening vaccine confidence and access ? Particularly for racial and ethnic groups that are disproportionately impacted by the negative effects of disease transmission ? Is critical to advancing public health, economic growth, community resilience, and important social outcomes. The urban institute will drive efforts to improve vaccine coverage and reduce disparities by taking several steps: identifying and selecting strong community-based organizations (cbos) with the capacity and experience to increase vaccine take-up in priority communities; designing and delivering resources and technical assistance to support and strengthen the effectiveness of those CBO and their activities; and (in part b) designing and managing a learning community for organizations across the broader program. This proposal is designed to advance the project?s long-term goals of (1) increasing influenza and covid-19 vaccine confidence among populations and communities that are disproportionately affected by influenza and covid-19 and/or at greater risk for lower vaccination coverage and (2) access to immunization among populations and communities experiencing disparities.
