1/ Be proactive Instead of passively waiting for people to come get vaccinated, we need to search them out & go to where they are & keep following up until they opt out or are vaccinated We should be rolling out the vaccine like we do the Census, even going door-to-door

2/ Remove barriers & be redundant In each community, have multiple ways to get vaccinated including CVS/Walgreens, pop-up sites & near high-throughput places people have to to go like grocery stores Make some venues 24/7 so people can get vaccinated anytime that works for them
Show this thread -
3/ Microplanning In mass vaccination campaigns, each locality developed detailed community-by-community plans for getting each eligible person vaccinated We need similarly granular plans for how each & every person will be reached & ways to monitor location-specific coverage

4/ Community engagement As we're already seeing, getting buy-in is not as simple as mass media messaging We need systematic community-by-community efforts to inform, engage, address concerns & cultivate trust. This can't be haphazard & needs to be done with rigor & resources

5/ Leverage skills We're in an emergency & we need all hands on deck Millions have skills that can help expand vaccination. Volunteers can organize lists, conduct community engagement or even be trained to administer vaccines under the supervision of nurses

6/ Logistics, logistics, logistics Mass vaccination campaigns invested in transport, storage etc to get things done without hiccups & lapses We need federal funding & partnerships with relevant companies to make the distribution, tracking, storage etc of vaccines seamless

If mass vaccination campaigns were able to vaccinate thousands of people within weeks including in some of the poorest & toughest places in the world (including warzones), we can do much better than we are now in the US This is an emergency; every delay means more cases & lives

It all comes full circle. I work for a program that treats 300+ million people a year in mass distribution campaigns to fight parasitic diseases. The communities own and implement the distribution strategy and it's a beautiful thing that now we can learn from them.

But isn’t this contrary to
@JoeBiden’s call for a nationally directed distribution? - Show replies
