Recognition for Vote & Vax

Vote & Vax received the 2009 National Influenza Vaccine Summit Immunization Excellence Award for Overall Season Activity, sponsored by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The award recognizes the outstanding efforts of the large number of providers participating in Vote & Vax 2008.
Election 2008 Successes
As part of the 2008 Presidential Election, participating Vote & Vax providers delivered 21,434 influenza vaccinations at 331 locations in 42 states and the District of Columbia. Of those vaccinated, almost half (47.7%) were "new" recipients, meaning they had either not received a flu shot in the preceding year or would not have otherwise been vaccinated. Vote & Vax is clearly expanding protection from influenza.
Vote & Vax In Action
Vote & Vax has built a network of providers across the United States who organized and run flu clinics at polling sites on or around Election Day. For many providers, such as Marshall County Health Department in Marysville, Kansas, participating in Vote & Vax 2008 was a chance to continue the success they had in 2004 and integrate the program into their regular public health practice.
