C5: Successful Adult Vaccination Coalitions: How to Create Them and Make Them Work

Presenters from three different States will review the steps they have undertaken to establish their respective Statewide adult vaccination coalitions. In addition, each will provide an overview of the operation, activities and progress of her coalition. These three presentations will highlight (1) the elements common to formation and operation of adult vaccination coalitions as well as (2) components unique to each one.
Learning Objectives: Workshop attendees should be able to take the lead in or contribute substantially to the formation of a Statewide adult vaccination coalition and should be able to provide input into its successful operation.
