7. Resources in the community
Immunization Clinic In partnership with Thurston County Public Health and Social Services Medical Reserve Corps, TOGETHER! And Tumwater School District host annual immunization clinics to ensure kids are up to date with life saving vaccinations and are ready for school. Ensuring students and families take preventive measure to protect their health and well-being is an important step to ensure children are ready for school and ready to learn.
MRC volunteers administer the vaccines
The PH dept (which organizes MRC) gets the vaccines through an emergency medicine grant through Group Health (not through the vaccines for children program)
They check child profile to see if the kids that show up to the clinic actually need them. Often times school records do not reflect the information in child profile, and kids don’t actually need them.
It’s a mix of kids who show up who need immunizations vs those that do not
Anecdotal information from families is that it is so hard to get into a well child visit to get immunizations, that they would rather come and wait 3 hours at the immunizations clinics to get them then wait month long wait times at the clinic
Clinics
Staffed by mrc
Mrc uses it as a training activity
Need access to internet to get child profile records
Together plays the role of convener, they handle logistics, and coordinate the partnerships between school nurse and provider, all mrc volunteers need to do is show up
There is a clinical access issue as well as a community access issue
What would they need to do this in other area
Funding
Providers who can do it
Someone who can handle logistics/partner development

8. Discussion: Child Immunizations
Why are immunizations rates so low?
Why is there a disparity between regions?
What are remaining gaps in knowledge, policy, or data?
