The scale-up phase of the project was an inter-professional effort to develop specific messaging about COVID-19 vaccination and delivered vaccination to communities in Philadelphia, esepcially vaccine-hesitant individuals and marginalized groups with limiteded access to health services. Emphasizing community engagement, evidenced-based message designs, and vaccine delivery, RapidVax has resulted in 1,542 individuals within the CPH and Temple, 2,685 of the general public vaccinated, of which approximately 74.9% were people of color and 16% were homeless (total doses given to date is 7,445). RapidVax, as an interprofessional collaboration between nursing, social work, pharmacy, and public health practitioners, is a promising model to deliver vaccination and decrease disparities.</p>}, number={1}, journal={CommonHealth}, author={Siminoff, Laura A. and VonNessen-Scanlin, Susan and Wu, Huanmei and Richardson, Briana and Kelly , Patrick and Bauerle Bass, Sarah and Chansiri, karikarn}, year={2022}, month={Mar.}, pages={1–12} }
