Why Outreach needed….  Historically low vaccination rates  Follow-up dosage needed  Confusion of targeted populations  Availability of vaccine  Vaccine shortage  Myths about vaccine safety  Younger/healthier populations at greater risk  Chronic disease high risk

 Consulted With & Funded Minority Consultant Firm Developed a H1N1 (Swine) Flu Toolkit Conducted 6 regional training sessions Provided technical assistance on H1N1materials  Awarded Funds to: 11Minority Outreach and Technical Assistance (MOTA) Grantees from Statewide Network 3 Minority Serving Organizations (MOTA- Sub Grantees) 12 Local Health Departments  Selected and Funded Three Focus Group Experts Conducted 26 ethnic/racial focus group sessions H1N1Summary Reports

 Hired 38 Community Outreach Workers  Conducted 2,867 one-on-one and group presentations  Assisted with 10,201 vaccination at H1N1Clinics  Reached 186,680 ethnic/racial persons  Distributed 329,419 H1N1 pamphlets, brochures, poster throughout 26 jurisdictions  Assisted with translations and interpretation  Provided information in Farsi, Urdu, Arabic, Chinese, French, Spanish, Burmese

 Short time to implement program - Grantees had limited time to submit applications - Training and orientation insufficient to adequately prepare Outreach Workers - Delay in receiving vaccines  Public uncertainty about safety of vaccine

 Knowledge of grants managements  History representing Minority communities  Trusted by Minority communities  Outreach Workers were residents from the targeted communities  Established relationships with community groups  Working relationship with local health departments  Existing infrastructure

 Some Health providers did not recommend H1N1vaccine to patients  Immunization or vaccine are not viewed as an important health issue  Media over played H1N1 as pandemic  Participants believe H1N1 is not as prevalent in summer than fall and winter  Inadequate information on clinical trails participants  The incentive not sufficient to attract participants

 Received 374 applications of which 2 were ineligible because they were not Maryland residents  137 ethnic and racial persons participated  Conducted 26 Focus groups between June 30, 2010 and July 30, 2010  Focus Group Breakdown: Native American - 3 Hispanic - 4 Caucasian - 8 Asian American - 3 African American - 8  Maryland Regions were: Central - 16, Eastern - 6, Southern -1 and Western - 3 H1N1 Focus Group Process….
