Local health departments (LHDs) are uniquely and ideally situated to conduct an assessment to better understand and respond to the COVID-19 vaccine needs of local communities.
Local health department (LHD) immunization programs have been working hard to ensure COVID-19 vaccines are available to all people in their communities. NACCHO spoke with two LHDs in Minnesota—Goodhue County Health and Human Services and Polk County Public Health— about how they have reached priority populations in their areas. Their strategies and approaches can help other LHDs do the same.
NACCHO has developed Increasing Vaccine Confidence: A Resource Guide for Local Health Departments. The goal of this guide is to present tools and resources that LHDs can utilize to address vaccine confidence at the local level among various communities and populations.
At the end of the 2020-2021 Immunization Workgroup year, the members reflected and identified key lessons learned through the COVID-19 response. Those lessons learned are highlighted below. We hope these lessons will help inform and guide any future public health emergencies, particularly those requiring vaccinations.
August is National Immunization Awareness Month. NACCHO is joining the CDC and other partners to highlight the importance of routine vaccinations and catching up on routine healthcare appointments.
On Tuesday, June 15, The House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Health—chaired by Rep. Anna Eshoo (D-CA)—held a hearing entitled, “Booster Shot: Enhancing Public Health Through Vaccine Legislation.”
