To be eligible for this funding, Applicants must be enrolled in BOTH the Washington State Childhood Vaccine Program (CVP) and the Washington State COVID‐19 Vaccine Program.
Priority
Children up to age 18 living in zip codes with a Social Vulnerability Index score of .6 or higher. Awardee(s) may also offer flu and COVID vaccinations to children ages 0‐3 and flu and COVID vaccinations to adult family members accompanying children to clinics, but this is not the priority population and clinics must always primarily serve children.

Applicants must demonstrate experience hosting mobile vaccination clinics (priority given to those with experience delivering routine childhood immunizations); a successful history of working with school districts and/or community‐ and faith‐based organizations; and a successful history serving low‐income, communities of color, and immigrant and refugee communities.
