NIVDP Partners Sustain Flu Vaccination Promotion Through Existing Community Programs

This issue highlights how NIVDP partners have linked with health and wellness programs in African American and Hispanic communities to promote flu vaccination. Partners have organized community events, disseminated CDC materials on influenza, and engaged stakeholders to discuss local flu vaccination efforts, best practices, and sustainability.

• Baltimore City Health Department’s back-to-school pep rally at City Hall in Baltimore, Maryland on August 8, 2015, that provided school supplies, flu vaccination, and other health services;

• Genesse Health Plan’s partnership with Walmart’s “America’s Greatest Health Fair” that offered health screenings and services such as flu vaccination in Flint, Michigan, on March 13, 2016;

• NIVDP stakeholder and partner workshop in Atlanta, Georgia on March 31, 2016, that addressed local flu vaccination efforts; and

• National African American Male Wellness Walk Initiative’s 5K event in Columbus, Ohio that will disseminate flu vaccination materials and provide flu vaccines in Columbus, Ohio, on August 13, 2016.
