TAPI Committees – Get Involved!
TAPI focuses on advocacy, community awareness, and education to promote immunizations and public health. We advocate for evidence-based health policies, and offer free educational materials to raise vaccine awareness. Additionally, we provide training for parents and healthcare providers on immunization practices and run a billing program to help public-sector health programs obtain insurance reimbursements.
We are guided by our members and hold various committee meetings on a monthly or bi-monthly basis that our members attend. Our committees consist of:
Advocacy Committee
The Health Professional Vaccine Advocacy Group holds monthly calls during the legislative session to discuss vaccine related bills and other political issues impacting vaccinations.
Community Awareness Committee
Community Awareness Committee (Adult & Childhood) works to increase awareness, provide education about childhood, adolescent, and adult immunizations, and to develop strategies to support local & community-based efforts. The committee meets monthly.
Provider Education Committee
Provider Education Committee works to ensure that the health care providers of Arizona are fully informed about childhood and adult immunizations. The committee focuses on improving the quality of immunization data in Arizona, including development of statewide immunization coverage level assessment process that involves both the public and private sector. The committee meets bi-monthly.
