Health Center COVID-19 Vaccine Program (HCVP) After-Action Survey

Health Center COVID-19 Vaccine Program

After Action – Survey Questions

Last updated 4/11/22

The Health Center COVID-19 Vaccine Program (HCVP) was developed to further ensure the equitable distribution of COVID-19 vaccines in the nation’s underserved communities and those disproportionately affected by COVID-19. Since the launch of this program, health centers have held nearly 60,000 community-based vaccination events in partnership with local community-based organizations, including schools, community centers, faith-based organizations, and have used mobile vans to bring vaccines to the community. The majority of doses administered by health centers have been provided to individuals from racial and ethnic minority populations. HRSA recognizes and appreciates the diligence of health centers in undertaking these efforts during the public health emergency and working to meet the goals of the HCVP.

HRSA is dedicated to capturing lessons learned from the work already completed by the HCVP in order to use the information for ongoing work in the HCVP and other HRSA Health Center COVID-19 Response Programs and to plan for any future public health emergencies.

You are receiving this survey because you are a key stakeholder in HRSA’s COVID-19 public health emergency response. This includes: health centers, Primary Care Associations, Health Center Controlled Networks, and National Training and Technical Assistance Partners. We would like to understand your particular experience with the Health Center COVID-19 Vaccine Program. The HRSA Bureau of Primary Health Care (BPHC) will use this information to inform future public health emergency response and programmatic planning where appropriate.

We request your response by [insert deadline]. If you have further questions, please submit a ticket to the Health Center Program Support or call 877-464-4772. 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. ET, Monday - Friday (except federal holidays).
