Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology
  • Health Equity

Background:

  • Rural US communities experienced disproportionately high COVID-19 infection and death rates due to factors like geography, vaccine hesitancy, and political/legislative challenges.
  • Community-based organizations (CBOs) are trusted local entities effective in public health partnerships, especially crucial for addressing rural health disparities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To document the experiences, challenges, and strategies of two CBOs implementing COVID-19 vaccine acceptance projects in diverse rural communities.
  • To identify lessons learned for future public health emergency and non-emergency responses, ensuring equitable service delivery and protection for all community members.

Main Methods:

  • Case study approach examining two CBO grantees of the CDC Foundation's initiative.
  • Focus on strategies employed to overcome barriers to equitable uptake and distribution of COVID-19 vaccines in rural settings.

Main Results:

  • Grantees successfully implemented vaccine acceptance projects by leveraging community trust and tailored strategies.
  • Documented challenges and successful approaches provide insights into effective rural public health interventions.

Conclusions:

  • CBOs are vital partners in addressing health inequities in rural communities.
  • Tailored, community-based strategies are essential for effective vaccine distribution and acceptance during public health crises.
  • Lessons learned can inform and improve future public health responses to ensure equitable outcomes.
