A. Proposed Evidence-Based Intervention
A1. Public Health Intervention Overview
The proposed intervention is a School-Based Immunization and Community Engagement
Program designed to increase measles vaccination rates among unvaccinated children in low-
coverage neighborhoods of New York City.
The intervention integrates:
On-site school vaccination clinics
Mobile vaccination units
Community education forums
Multilingual outreach campaigns
Partnerships with local leaders and pediatric providers
This approach addresses both access barriers and vaccine hesitancy, which are key drivers of
measles outbreaks in densely populated urban areas.
A2. Evidence Supporting the Intervention
School-based vaccination programs have demonstrated:
Increased vaccination uptake
Reduced missed opportunities for immunization
Improved herd immunity
Faster outbreak containment
, CDC data and prior urban outbreak responses show that bringing vaccination services directly
into trusted environments (schools and community centers) significantly improves participation
rates.
Community health worker (CHW)-led education programs also improve vaccine confidence
when culturally tailored and delivered by trusted messengers.
B. Alignment with Public Health Core
Functions
B1. Assessment
Use NYC Department of Health immunization registry data to identify neighborhoods
with low MMR coverage.
Conduct community surveys to assess vaccine hesitancy drivers.
Monitor measles incidence rates by ZIP code.
B2. Policy Development
Collaborate with NYC public health officials to reinforce school-entry vaccination
requirements.
Develop culturally tailored communication strategies.
Implement emergency vaccination protocols during outbreak clusters.
B3. Assurance
Provide free, accessible vaccination clinics.
Ensure multilingual services.
Monitor vaccination coverage to ensure equitable distribution.
Evaluate intervention outcomes and adjust strategy accordingly.
C. Stakeholder Collaboration
Effective implementation requires collaboration among:
1. Government Agencies
NYC Department of Health
