Our vision is that this innovative, effective strategy will become standard public health practice each and every Election Day. Vote & Vax reinforces local responsiblity and makes a vital contribution to the health of American communities. Vote & Vax is a public health "2-for-one": it helps protect your community from seasonal flu and builds your agency's capacity to respond in the event of a public health disaster. The program is a proactive step to safeguard your neighbors and save lives.
Thank you to our partners who participated in the 2008 Vote & Vax project. Because of your hard work and commitment to serving your community, Vote & Vax delivered 21,434 influenza vaccinations at 331 locations in 42 states and the District of Columbia. Of those vaccinated through the project, almost half (47.7%) were "new" recipients, meaning that they had eight not received a flu shot in the preceding year or would not ahve otherwise been vaccinated.
We hope you will join us for Vote & Vax 2010.
