The Arizona Partnership for Immunization

“The organization provided a copy of the 990, via email, to the governing body before it was filed. Any questions and comments are resolved prior to submission.”

“Each director, principal officer, and member of a comittee with board- delegated powers, and key employees sign a statement each year affirming they have received a copy of the policy and that they have read and understand the policy. An interested person may disclose the existence of a possible conflict to the committee with board-delegated powers, in which thereafter the board will determine appropriate action by majority vote.”

“A consultant was hired to do a salary survey of comparable positions.”

“Governing documents are made available to the public upon request.”

“Expenses 173,753: provider education: doctors, nurses and medical office staff are considered experts when immunizations are the topic of conversation. Pediatricians are key partners in reaching and maintaining our goal of 90% age appropriate immunization coverage levels of our 2 year old children to establish immunity to vaccine preventable diseases. Both in practice and in message, the interactions between practitioners and their patients and/or parents are significant in a decision to immunize. Tapi works with professional medical organizations to promote immunization best practices to arizonans of all ages. Programs are offered throughout the state that provide up to date, comprehensive trainings for all levels of medical office and clinic staff. The goal is to implement a process of immunization delivery and science-based communication to all arizonans throughout their lifespan. Expenses 352,808: arizona department of health services contract: in 1992, following a deadly measles outbreak in the united states, each state was challenged to change medical practice and improve the immunization levels of children. Arizona created a public private partnership, the arizona partnership for infant immunization, to bring all community partners together to seek common solutions. Public health identified strategies to protect arizonans from vaccine preventable diseases, but without the collaboration of private sector partners, the strategies could not be implemented effectively. The ongoing collaboration of public and private partners has resulted in a substantial improvement in the level of immunization against a growing array of diseases - and expanded beyond a focus on infants to include all arizonans. Today, the arizona partnership for immunization, funded by a contract with the arizona department of health services maintains the dynamic and committed coalition of committee partners to promote acceptance and use of vaccines as a public health strategy.”
