INCREASE ACCESS AND UPTAKE OF VACCINES IN THE US THROUGH ADVOCACY AND IMMUNIZATION SUPPORT. VACCINE AMBASSADORS COLLABORATES WITH ESTABLISHED PUBLIC HEALTH ORGANIZATIONS TO PROVIDE CRITICAL VACCINE SUPPORT FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES IN LOW AND MIDDLE INCOME COUNTRIES. OUR ORGANIZATION PLAYS A PIVOTAL ROLE IN REVITALIZING IMMUNIZATION PROGRAMS THAT HAVE FACED SETBACKS IN RECENT YEARS, PARTICULARLY DUE TO THE PANDEMIC.THROUGH OUR JOINT INITIATIVE, FACILITATING EQUITABLE ACCESS TO VACCINES IN THE AMERICAS, WE ADDRESS CRITICAL GAPS IN VACCINE COVERAGE IN LATIN AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEAN, FOCUSING ON PRIORITY VACCINES IDENTIFIED BY REGIONAL PUBLIC HEALTH EXPERTS. THESE EFFORTS CONTRIBUTE TO GLOBAL IMMUNIZATION GOALS AND SUPPORT REGIONAL HEALTH SYSTEMS IN BUILDING RESILIENCE FOR THE FUTURE.THIS YEAR, IN ADDITION TO SUPPORTING ROUTINE CHILDHOOD VACCINES (ESTIMATED AT 180,000 VACCINES, MANY OF WHICH ARE COMBINATION VACCINES CONTAINING MULTIPLE ANTIGENS, PROTECTING AGAINST MULTIPLE DISEASES), WE ALSO PROVIDED 4,500 HPV VACCINES FOR SCHOOL-AGE CHILDREN IN SURINAME, HELPING TO SUPPORT THE COUNTRY'S NATIONAL HPV VACCINATION PROGRAM. 0 95000 WE CONTINUE TO EXPAND OUR STATE AND NATIONAL EFFORTS TO ENSURE EQUITABLE ACCESS TO ESSENTIAL ADULT VACCINES BY PARTNERING WITH COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS. IN THE U.S., 75% OF ADULTS ARE MISSING ONE OR MORE RECOMMENDED VACCINES, WHICH UNDERSCORES THE CRITICAL NEED FOR INITIATIVES THAT IMPROVE ACCESS. OUR GOAL IS THAT ALL INDIVIDUALS, REGARDLESS OF THEIR CIRCUMSTANCES, HAVE ACCESS TO LIFE-SAVING VACCINES.TWO KEY INITIATIVES EXEMPLIFY THIS COMMITMENT:1. NC FREE AND CHARITABLE CLINICS PARTNERSHIP: WE ARE COLLABORATING WITH NC FREE AND CHARITABLE CLINICS TO PILOT IN-CLINIC VACCINATION SERVICES FOR UNINSURED POPULATIONS. MANY INDIVIDUALS IN THESE COMMUNITIES FACE SIGNIFICANT BARRIERS TO ACCESSING VACCINES, AND WITHOUT IN-CLINIC SERVICES LIKE THESE, THEY HAVE NO OPTIONS TO OBTAIN THIS ESSENTIAL BASIC HEALTHCARE SERVICE. THIS PILOT PROGRAM AIMS TO ASSESS HOW IN-CLINIC VACCINATION SERVICES CAN BE SUCCESSFULLY INTEGRATED INTO THEIR EXISTING HEALTHCARE MODEL, PROVIDING A VITAL NEW OPTION FOR INDIVIDUALS TO RECEIVE THE PROTECTION THEY NEED.2. COMMUNITY IMMUNITY: IN-HOME VACCINATIONS PILOT: THIS PROJECT INCREASES VACCINE ACCESS FOR MEALS ON WHEELS CLIENTS, MANY OF WHOM ARE ELDERLY AND LIVE WITH CHRONIC HEALTH CONDITIONS, PUTTING THEM AT HIGHER RISK FOR COMPLICATIONS. BY BRINGING VACCINES DIRECTLY INTO THEIR HOMES, WE AIM TO PROTECT THIS VULNERABLE POPULATION. ADDITIONALLY, THIS PILOT SEEKS TO PROVIDE A ROADMAP FOR OTHER MEALS ON WHEELS PROGRAMS TO ADOPT AND IMPLEMENT SIMILAR SERVICES IN THEIR OWN COMMUNITIES.THESE PROJECTS UNDERSCORE OUR DEDICATION TO ADVANCING PUBLIC HEALTH, PROMOTING VACCINE EQUITY, AND ADDRESSING HEALTHCARE CHALLENGES IN OUR COMMUNITIES. VACCINES NOT ONLY PROTECT INDIVIDUALS BUT ALSO STRENGTHEN ENTIRE COMMUNITIES AND REDUCE THE BURDEN ON HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS. 0 1463 96463 ALISON MACLENNAN CHAIR 1.00 0 0 0 JACKIE KAUFMAN SECRETARY/EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 30.00 0 0 0 SANDY WILLS VICE CHAIR 1.00 0 0 0 ANDRE ANTHONY TREASURER 1.00 0 0 0 JEAN DAVISON MEMBER 1.00 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NC SC GA NY KS JACKIE KAUFMAN 7922 KENNEBEC DRIVE CHAPEL HILL NC 27517 9196197766 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 114782 98710 122485 66541 63150 465668 114782 98710 122485 66541 63150 465668 256148 209520 465668 0.44990 0.39780 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED FORM 990-EZ, PART I, LINE 16 - OTHER EXPENSES DESCRIPTION: BOD INSURANCE.
