Immunization of Children and Adults, Prevention of Vaccine-Preventable Diseases, IIS Data Collection and Analysis, Pandemic Response - The Virginia Department of Health (VDH) is committed to enhancing vaccine-preventable disease prevention and response efforts across the state. Through the Strengthening Vaccine-Preventable Disease Prevention and Response initiative, VDH aims to bolster immunization infrastructure, improve disease surveillance, and expand community outreach. This initiative will focus on increasing vaccination coverage, strengthening healthcare partnerships, and addressing disparities in immunization access, particularly among high-risk and underserved populations. By leveraging data-driven strategies and evidence-based interventions, VDH will enhance its capacity to prevent, detect, and respond to vaccine-preventable diseases. The proposed efforts align with national public health priorities and will contribute to a more resilient and equitable immunization system, ultimately reducing the burden of vaccine-preventable illnesses in Virginia.
