Policy Brief: Enhancing Community Integration and Program Impact through the Latinx Immunization Access Program
White Paper
The policy brief discusses the Latinx Immunization Access Program (LIAP), which was initiated to improve COVID-19 vaccination rates among Latinx communities in Colorado. It highlights the innovative strategies used to overcome barriers to vaccination, including culturally responsive outreach and partnerships with community organizations. The program adapted to the needs of the population, achieving significant improvements in vaccine access and uptake. These learnings have transformed the Community Engagement Department’s approach to public health, providing a model for future health equity initiatives. The LIAP serves as an example of effective community-led health interventions.
