Partnering for Vaccine Equity

The National Adult and Influenza Immunization Summit

At the National Adult and Influenza Immunization Summit in Atlanta, the CDC Foundation accepted the award for “Health Equity & Access Immunization Champion” for the ongoing work on the Partnering for Vaccine Equity program.

The CDC Foundation is collaborating with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on the Partnering for Vaccine Equity (P4VE) program to increase equity in adult immunization.

The benefits of vaccination are not realized equally across the population of the United States. Adult vaccination coverage remains low nationally and significant racial and ethnic disparities exist.

The CDC Partnering for Vaccine Equity (P4VE) program provides funding and support to a network of national, state and local organizations prioritizing equity in COVID-19 and flu vaccination access.

Through this program, the CDC Foundation supports 101 community-based organizations (CBOs) representing 34 states and Washington, D.C. The CBOs are working to develop locally focused outreach to increase vaccine education, access and acceptance in groups that have been marginalized by long-standing health and social inequities—including racial and ethnic minority groups, refugees and immigrants, persons with disabilities, rural populations and others.

In addition, the CDC Foundation partners with five national digital marketing and media organizations to address misinformation about COVID-19 and the flu. The media partners monitor and combat misinformation about vaccines across social media channels and promote digital health literacy among communities experiencing disparities in immunization. They also develop digital assets for community-based organizations including videos and graphic images that can be used in vaccine outreach.

The CDC Foundation also created and maintains the Vaccine Resource Hub—an online repository of free materials about COVID-19, influenza, and other adult vaccines. The site gives CBOs and the public access to accurate and diverse resources and information about vaccines in over 50 languages and offers inspiring stories about the innovative P4VE work.

The partnerships forged through this collaborative program will create stronger, more resilient communities and a healthier future for everyone.
