Medical Practices Capability Survey

Medical practices are well positioned to vaccinate patient populations in the community. At this time these practices have not received an abundance of vaccine. As vaccine becomes more readily available the capabilities of medical practices need to be assessed. The student will work with their supervisor to develop survey instruments, collect data and develop reports to HUB leadership.

Information on these topics is likely to change often. It will be updated frequently, but be advised checking directly with state websites for the most recent information.
