Excerpts from the RFA:
Purpose
The purpose of this Application Guidance is to provide eligible applicants information on completion of the application for the Immunization Program. Services covered by this application include activities to increase immunization rates and decrease vaccine-preventable diseases. This includes activities to increase immunization rates in children, adolescents and adults for all Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommended vaccines.
The Agency is actively working to address health inequities in Iowa. Health Equity is the attainment of the highest possible level of health for all people. It means achieving the environmental, social, economic and other conditions in which all people have the opportunity to attain their highest possible level of health. The Immunization Program promotes health equity by providing immunization education and resources for Iowans across the lifespan. Today, the widespread use of vaccines protect all Iowans from infectious diseases that were once common. The CDC has declared vaccines one of the greatest public health achievements of the 20th Century, second only to clean water.
