Presented by Melissa Hanks, MA, OPMA, Ronica Reimers, Kayla Mailo, Trevor Douglass, Rebecca Knight-Alvarez, and Michael Yu
Between 2021 and 2022 The Oregon Health Authority's Public Health Division carried out a community-centered COVID-19 vaccination campaign that prioritized language access and community involvement at every stage. One branch of this campaign focused on vaccinations for the many thousands of community members from the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM), the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI), and the Republic of Palau. People from  these nations are entitled to US social services and legal migration to the US under the Compacts of Free Association (COFA). Two language and culture subject matter experts (who are also members of the COFA community) will present alongside OHA Vaccine Operations staff to talk about the health disparities that people from COFA nations face every day, their experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic, and what a "culturally and linguistically appropriate" vaccine campaign looks like for their community. OHA Vaccine Operations staff will talk about the health equity principles applied during the COVID-19 vaccine campaign and their experiences working alongside community members to deliver vaccines and vaccine information outside the traditional clinical model.
