In Mississippi, a state program hopes to reduce the gap in immunization rates by using nurses to help mobilize the community. The need is pressing, African-Americans in Mississippi receive a pneumonia vaccine at a rate of only 27%, compared to 69% for Caucasians. From MinorityNurse.com:
“Instead of the state and the CDC coming out into these people’s communities and telling them they need to get the flu shot, what we are doing is mobilizing the community to work in the community,†explains [program manager Marilyn Douglas, RN.] “You need community-based organizations to do that and you really need to give people the information necessary to make an informed decision.â€
Reducing the gap in immunizations is one of the goals of Healthy People 2010 and will hopefully lead to a reduction in health disparities.
