How is this guide different?

1. Agencies and associations like the CDC, CTSE, ASTHO, NACCHO, and APHL are sharing strong guidance on what to do. But relatively few organizations are sharing guidance on how to implement this guidance. USDR's approach is to give you concrete tips on the hows of vaccine management–especially through a practical technology lens–so you can continue making life-saving decisions, faster and easier.

2. A common theme we’ve heard from providers is they are interested in what other providers are doing. Since we’ve partnered with several government providers across the country, our guide is a way to quickly learn the tips and pitfalls that other government providers have experienced. Our recommendations are based on conversations and partnerships with government providers like you who are responsible for on-the-ground delivery of vaccines to their residents.

3. We provide actionable and free vaccination administration tools that you can set up today. USDR recently launched a free, easy-to-deploy website template that enables public health agencies to stand up a resident-facing website within a few hours, and customizable to your needs. We elaborate more on this tool in the Key Areas: 8. Communicating with the public (ongoing) section.
