We cannot build confidence in the value of vaccines without the support of community-based organizations (CBOs).
Vaccinate Your Family (VYF) and Día de la Mujer Latina (DML) released a report in September 2022 outlining the failure of federal grants to support CBOs during COVID-19. According to the report, “Supporting Community-based Organizations to Reignite a Culture of Immunization,” the federal grant applications often excluded CBOs based on requirements including: quick response time, project length, and conditions of funding which allowed larger institutes to apply as CBOs.
Please take a moment to read and share the report or the executive summary below. We hope you will also take a moment to hear directly from CBOs about the challenges they’re facing.
