DC Vaccine Alliance
The DC Vaccine Alliance is funded by the District of Columbia Department of Health (DC Health) to build and sustain a coalition of immunization stakeholders dedicated to promoting vaccination in Washington, DC.
The Institute for Public Health Innovation (IPHI) was awarded a $100,000 grant by DC Health to establish the DC Vaccine Alliance. The grant will fund a coalition to support efforts to increase immunization rates and reduce vaccine-preventable diseases in Washington, DC. This initiative will focus on bringing together stakeholders from different sectors to educate both healthcare providers and the community. The work will highlight vaccine best practices and advocate for evidence-based immunization policies.
Key priorities of the DC Vaccine Alliance include:
- Understanding attitudes and perceptions around immunizations and awareness of school vaccination requirements
- Strengthening partnerships among immunization advocates to align messaging and outreach efforts
- Addressing barriers to vaccination and supporting providers in achieving recommended immunization coverage
- Enhancing access to accurate and up-to-date vaccine information through digital resources and community engagement
The Alliance will serve as a central hub for immunization initiatives, working in collaboration with healthcare providers, community-based organizations, government agencies, schools, and other key stakeholders to improve vaccine uptake for all in DC.
IPHI serves as the backbone support for DC Vaccine Alliance.
