    The Edmonton Board of Health partnered with senior centers to improve flu vaccine delivery efficiency. This collaboration reduced costs by 40% and completed the immunization program earlier.

    Area of Science:

    • Public Health
    • Health Administration
    • Community Health

    Background:

    • Increasing demand for influenza vaccines strained diminishing public health resources.
    • The Edmonton Board of Health (EBH) sought to enhance immunization delivery efficiency.
    • Collaboration with community groups was identified as a potential solution.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficiency of a partnership model for influenza immunization delivery.
    • To assess the impact of community collaboration on public health services.
    • To reduce unit labor costs associated with immunization programs.

    Main Methods:

    • A pilot project was conducted in partnership with seven senior citizen recreation centers.
    • Public health nurses delivered influenza immunizations with assistance from senior volunteers.

  • Data on immunization numbers, volunteer hours, and labor costs were collected.

    • Main Results:

    • 13,633 individuals were immunized in October 1991.
    • 202 senior volunteers contributed 1,700 hours.
    • Unit labor costs for the EBH decreased by 40%.

    Conclusions:

    • A cooperative model involving senior centers significantly improved influenza immunization delivery efficiency.
    • This partnership model reduced costs and facilitated earlier program completion.
    • The initiative fostered strong community alliances between the EBH and senior centers.
