Recently, immunizations have become a major topic in health care at the governmental level. Based on community-level data, you have identified the need to increase immunization rates in the refugee and immigrant population in your community. Whom might you enlist as partners in planning and implementing programs to achieve desired health outcomes at the community level? Why did you select these partners?

My discussion: Hello,

Immunization is the process of administering a vaccine to individuals, especially children, to reduce the risk of being infected with diseases such as tetanus, measles, diphtheria, pertussis, and influenza. The vaccine works with the body’s natural defense to strengthen an individual’s immune system. Almost all vaccines are administered freely, but only a few may be chargeable. Immunization plays an integral part in primary healthcare to prevent and control infectious diseases (Stevens, Ruminski & Goodpaster, 2017). Therefore every individual, including the refugees and immigrants, is entitled to immunization regardless of their origin, race, and ethnicity.

The achievement of desired health outcomes at the community level requires collaboration with different health partners to plan and implement immunization programs. Some of the partners I will collaborate with include the Primary care and Public health department, UNICEF immunization, US Health department and Human service, and the Texas immunization (Bedard, Pettit & Messmer, 2019). I will also partner with the Sabin vaccine institute, Northern Manhattan immunization, and the World Health Organization to achieve a common goal and ensure that the process is conducted effectively

The selection of these partners depends on their reliability in administering the vaccine. They generally assess different vaccines before reaching the community to determine its efficiency and ensure that it has no side effects on the public. They also plan and record the entire process of immunization for the smooth running of operations. Tracking of the immigrants and refugees in different locations follows so that none of them is left out. Once they reach them, they administer the vaccine starting with those at high risks of infections and the entire group (Migrations, 2019). Therefore, due to their outstanding performance, these partners stand a higher chance of being selected to conduct immunization at the community level.

Professor question: Greter

These partners can provide educational materials regarding immunizations and help distribute the information directly to refugees and immigrant groups in our country.

Sharing information about how these vaccine-preventable diseases can affect non-immunized people and providing information on where free or low-cost immunizations are available, may encourage some people to get vaccinations for themselves or their children. What else can be done? Assignment: Immunizations

We need the support of local government units to achieve optimal health results at the community level. Volunteers will also be beneficial, too. A clear conversation at a group level should be held before vaccines to inform individuals about the benefits of being vaccinated. The immunization at a community level would have a high success rate with the support of the local government units and some volunteers, preferably those with a medical background. In the immunization program, strategic collaboration is necessary for developing, innovating, meeting the community’s needs, and building a healthy life nationally and internationally. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is the leading resource for immunizations in the U.S. with a view to raising vaccination rates along with the public and private sectors as a collaborative power.

While refugees are not needed to provide vaccinations until arriving in the United States, the CDC has established a Vaccination Program for U.S.-bound Refugees in conjunction with the State Department, which began in 2013 and is in the process of expansion. Refugees may apply for a change of status to that of a legal permanent resident after one year in the US. At that time, in compliance with CDC Technical Guidelines for Status Change Medical Review, they will be expected to be fully vaccinated. Different domestic organizations, including state and local health departments, Medicaid, the federal Vaccines for Children Program, and the U.S. Refugee Medical Assistance Program, pay for refugee vaccinations following arrival in the United States. Agency of Refugee Resettlement of the Department of Health and Human Services (“Vaccines for immigrants and refugees,” 2019). Private doctor’s offices, hospitals, employers, community health clinics, health departments or other community locations, such as schools and religious centers, may have access to vaccinations (“Vaccine information for adults | Where to find adult vaccines | CDC,” 2020).
