- Abstract:
- The Partnering for Vaccine Equity (P4VE) program, funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, is addressing racial and ethnic disparities in adult COVID-19 and influenza vaccination. This investment in vaccine equity presents an opportunity to build knowledge and evidence on effectively increasing vaccine coverage for both the current moment and future vaccination efforts. The P4VE program launched in 2021 and will run for up to five years. With support from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Urban Institute (Urban) participates in the P4VE program through two roles. First, as the group learning manager of the P4VE learning community, Urban cultivates a collaborative environment for hundreds of national, tribal, and local organizations across the country working to build vaccine equity. Second, as a provider of subgrants and technical assistance to community-based organizations (CBOs), Urban supports CBOs’ efforts to implement vaccine equity projects and build their broader, long-term organizational capacity. Within P4VE, the Building the Evidence Base for Promising Practices (Promising Practices) project supported CBOs in implementing tailored outreach strategies to advance vaccine equity and uptake in their communities. The project provided grants of up to $25,000 to support 18 P4VE-funded organizations to develop, implement, and evaluate the effectiveness of a promising practice in one of three areas: 1. media-based outreach 2. community-based outreach 3. vaccine events and partnerships Since 2021, P4VE member organizations have been involved in intense learning, capacity building, outreach, and service delivery, working to help communities be safer and healthier in the face of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Equipped with Promising Practices grants, 18 of these organizations have built their capacity to measure the effects of their program activities and, in turn, learn more about the relative effectiveness of various outreach and partnership practices. Overall, the project sought to contribute to the fight against COVID-19 by building a solid foundation of evidence-based practices that promote vaccine equity and reduce disparities among underserved communities.
