State leaders announced on Monday the All in WA Vaccine Equity Initiative – a campaign that aims to support equitable vaccine access across Washington.
The new initiative is looking to raise $30 million in combined private and public funds to help vaccinate underserved communities. Most federal funds will not be available until June, but All in WA says the initiative already has support from philanthropic partners including The Starbucks Foundation and Premera Blue Cross.
All in WA’s website states that the initiative will support equitable access by:
“Streamlining and targeting funds to trusted, community-based organizations that can conduct linguistically and culturally-specific vaccine education and outreach, as well as address access, mobility and transportation barriers.”
