School-Located Vaccine Clinics: An Effective Strategy for Expanding Access to COVID-19 Vaccines in Los Angeles County
We report on the process of building this network and its impact on vaccination coverage. We describe a unique equity metric (HPI+) that used a combination of the Healthy Places Index (HPI) and COVID-19 transmission and vaccination data to prioritize school-located vaccination efforts. More than 328 991 doses of COVID-19 vaccine were administered at 1050 schools in Los Angeles County from April 15, 2021, through June 18, 2022. Nearly 10% of all doses administered to children aged 5-11 years in Los Angeles County were at school-located vaccine clinics. Most vaccine clinic days (77.3%) were held at schools in HPI+ zip codes....

Disparities in Rates of Death From HIV or Tuberculosis Before Age 65 Years, by Race, Ethnicity, and Sex, United States, 2011-2020
CONCLUSION: Large disparities in rates of death from tuberculosis or HIV among US residents aged <65 years based on sex, race, and ethnicity indicate an ongoing unmet need for effective interventions. Intervention strategies are needed to address disparities in rates of death and infection among racial and ethnic minority populations.PMID:38111105 | DOI:10.1177/00333549231213328 (Source: Public Health Reports)
