About the project
What is NEYPVAL PROJECT
With the success of NEYPVAL Year 1 Project, NSS received sub-grant for the Year 2 project from Center for Disease Control and Prevention Foundation (CDCF) which is the part of Center for Disease Control (CDC) of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The purpose of this grant is to “Support Partnering With National Organization’s Community-Based Organizations To Increase Vaccine Coverage Across Different Racial and Ethnic Adult Populations Currently Experiencing Disparities”.
Our Partnering for Vaccine Equity (P4VE) Year 2 project, was to continue to apply social determinants of health and health equity approach. The goal of our project was to promote access to influenza and Covid-19 vaccines through culturally-appropriate resources and information using various social media platforms, educational materials, and partnership with other Community based organizations (CBOs).
Our Mission
The objectives and goals of the NEYPVAL Year 2 project was to reach out to Nepali community members who would have difficulty getting information regarding vaccines. Our primary objectives were:
- Community mobilization and engagement.
- Culturally- relevant content development and dissemination by developing new communication products.
- Host or support new events/campaigns to promote vaccinations.
- Establish a database Nepali-speaking population in Washington and identify health needs.
- Partnership with other community-based organizations and public health departments
