WASHINGTON DC – Today, U.S. Senators Shelley Moore Capito (RW.Va.) and Joe Manchin (DW.Va.), members of the Senate Appropriations Committee, announced $6,004,515 from the Health Resources and Services Administration of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). (HRSA) for 31 health centers throughout West Virginia. The funding will support the provision of up-to-date vaccinations against COVID-19 in West Virginia communities, with a focus on underserved populations.
“These grants give our state more resources to allow every West Virginian access to address their health care needs. This money also provides more tools for health care providers to better help them address health needs for people across our state.Strengthening our health care infrastructure and ensuring West Virginians have access to the care they want is essential. Senator Capito said.
“The COVID-19 vaccines are safe, effective and vital as we continue to protect ourselves and our loved ones from COVID-19, which is why I am pleased that HHS is investing more than $6 million to increase efforts to vaccination throughout West Virginia.” Senator Manchin said. “The funding announced today will help expand drive-in, walk-in and community-based vaccination events, strengthen outreach initiatives and strengthen translation and interpretation services to ensure that everyone who wants a vaccine can get one, especially cases of flu and other respiratory diseases. the climax. As a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, I will continue to advocate for resources to support our health care organizations as they care for West Virginians across the Mountain State.
The HHS Expanding Covid-19 Vaccination initiative provides resources directly to health centers across the country to scale up COVID-19 vaccinations by addressing the unique access barriers experienced by underserved populations. The program will strengthen coordination between health care providers and community-based organizations that provide child care, early childhood development, housing, nutrition, employment, education, seniors and other health services. Health centers will be encouraged to establish mobile, drive-in, walk-in, and community-based vaccination activities, extend hours of operation, strengthen outreach efforts, and expand transportation, translation, education, and interpretation services to reduce barriers to access to vaccination.
