Fostering Interprofessional Education Through a Multidisciplinary, Community-Based Pandemic Mass Vaccination Exercise
2018
We expanded health care services to economically disadvantaged individuals in an interprofessional, student-driven vaccination effort that also served as a pandemic planning drill. Health care professional students from colleges in and around Rockford, Illinois participated in implementing a mass vaccination event from 2011 to 2014 that targeted the underserved population. There was a 459% increase in total vaccinations administered to at-risk patients from year 1 to year 4. This interprofessional health care student–driven effort expanded medical service to disadvantaged individuals.
