GOAL

To be able to answer - or find out if, from the data partners are providing, we would be able to answer the following questions:

Did the patient get the vaccination at the health center? What vaccine and when?
If given elsewhere, is it validated by an external record? If so, what vaccine was given, when and where?
Does the patient report vaccination without a record of it being done? If so, what vaccine was given, when and where?
Was the patient offered the vaccination and declined?

Introductory Language for IIS/eCR Survey:

Thank you for all you are doing to combat the COVID pandemic and provide preventive health services for our nation's underserved!

NACHC has been inundated by requests from partners including the CDC, HRSA and even the Biden transition team to provide as specific as possible information about our public health infrastructure's readiness and the capacity of FQHCs and their partners to rapidly deploy the COVID vaccine to bend the curve of the pandemic. As our partners working on COVID vaccine deployment and tracking, we want to ask you what the current state of your immunization and public health reporting infrastructures and capacities are. This survey is designed to take less than 1 hour for a partner stakeholder with insight into the current state of immunization and public health reporting; however, we encourage you to provide as much detail or additional information as you choose to inform our national partners in the right approaches to breaking barriers and resourcing a successful COVID vaccination campaign. You can provide supplemental data in lieu or along with this survey: please email these to jskapik@nachc.com and sprice@nachc.com.

We are requesting completion of this survey by 12pm ET on January 29, 2021. We are grateful for your feedback and welcome any volunteers who would like to speak further on this topic with federal stakeholders in the space.
