In Year 5 of the Strengthening Public Health Systems and Services through National Partnerships to Improve and Protect the Nation's Health by strengthening adult immunization practices in health centers serving high risk vulnerable populations, the National Association of Community Health Centers, (NACHC) will apply lessons learned from COVID-19 to address Flu, Pneumococcal, and other adult immunizations.

By applying Human Centered Design (HCD), LEAN Informatics, and implementation science methods NACHC’s proposal includes blended learning model using the following elements: Data analytic plan for adult immunizations for participating sites Team focused coaching and data intervention Mixed method learning models for scale and spread of adult immunizations Quantify the results of the past 5 years of the Cooperative Agreement
