EXHIBIT B
Mobile Vaccine Clinic - SW Maricopa County Outreach and Engagement
January 11, 2023 - September 30, 2023
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
The COVID-19 pandemic revealed widening health disparities and disproportionate adverse health
outcomes in terms of transmission, hospitalizations, morbidity, and mortality among Arizona’s rural,
African American, American Indian, Latino, disabled and elderly populations. Unfortunately, these are
the very populations that have much lower rates of being vaccinated in the early weeks of Arizona’s
COVID-19 vaccination rollout.
To address these alarming health disparities, we propose to use mobile units from the Zuckerman
College of Public Health (MEZCOPH) in collaboration with Maricopa County Department of Public Health
(MCDPH), health and social service providers, health professions students and trainees, to expedite
vaccinations in these vulnerable and hard to reach individuals and populations, thereby improving
COVID-19 vaccination uptake and reduce disparities in cases, hospitalization, morbidity, and mortality
rates.
Intractable health disparities relate to social determinants including socioeconomic status, educational
attainment, low wages for essential workers, rural location, being elderly or disabled, having limited
English speaking skills, immigration status, unreliable transportation, difficulty obtaining childcare and
other factors. Stigma, ageism, racism, and anti-immigrant policies further impede access to health
services including COVID-19 testing and vaccination.
OPERATIONS
The MEZCOPH Outreach and Engagement team in collaboration with MCDPH proposes to expand
services to the Southwest area of Maricopa County having consistent presence in the hard-to-reach
population including identified homeless population, farmworkers, other essential workers to provide
COVID19 and other vaccinations such as seasonal flu as well as basic health screenings, and linkage to
medical homes. We propose to increase booster rates across Maricopa County, identifying, and reaching
the population that has not received initial COVID 19 vaccine and related boosters. The MCDPH now has
access to Novavax (COVID 19) vaccine that will address initial vaccine hesitant residents given this
specific vaccine is manufactured using traditional and familiar methods as other more commonly
accepted disease prevention vaccines. The team also has access to Monkeypox vaccine to address at risk
population susceptible to the infection.
Project Goal – the goal is to improve uptake for the first dose of COVID 19 vaccine and boosters
developed to protect against the latest variants and reduce health disparities in vulnerable, hard to
reach populations using mobile units that administer vaccines, provide education on COVID-19
transmission and prevention strategies to protect family members living in the same household. The
mobile units and outreach team through Street Medicine Phoenix also provides primary and
preventive care and referral to other health and social services as appropriate. Collaborating with the
MCDPH and rural health and social service providers can bring these educational, technological
resources and vaccines to the community as opposed to having hard to reach residents come to us.

Teaching & Workforce Development: – we teach and train Arizona’s future health workforce by
providing interprofessional education from pipeline to practice via pre-professional, undergraduate,
graduate, and continuing health professions education, precepting, and mentoring. Students and
medical residents learn outside classrooms in community-based settings with academic and field faculty.
Students, staff, and faculty better serve rural and urban underserved health needs both through existing
clinics, hospitals, community health centers and other health infrastructure and with mobile units and
telehealth to reach Arizona’s most vulnerable communities and populations.
Mobile Unit Services/Street Medicine – include vaccination for COVID-19 and flu, blood glucose checks,
blood pressure and Body Mass Index (BMI) measurement, limited testing such as cholesterol,
HIV screenings, wound care, vision screening and free eyeglasses, help with eligibility and enrollment
for AHCCCS (Medicaid) and Kids Care (CHIP) and referrals for mammograms and other cancer
screening, fluoride varnish for children, orientation and education on health insurance registration,
referrals to healthcare providers, and active follow up to ensure participants learn how to access care
locally in an FQHC, rural or critical access hospitals (CAHs) and telehealth services.
Outreach, Education & Service – funding will support COVID-19 vaccination, health education and
wellness programs, information and materials working collaboratively with MCDPH, FQHCs, local health
and social service providers, and others. I-pads are equipped with internet service, are confidential and
HIPPA compliant. The mobile unit and street medicine staff and interprofessional team of health
sciences faculty, staff and students refer to local primary care providers or facilities as necessary.
Provide hygiene kits to those experiencing homelessness.
The following is the proposed budget and budget justification for the expansion of services.
