TAPI Committees – Get Involved!<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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:<\/p>\n

Advocacy Committee<\/u> | Sign <\/a><\/strong><\/span>Up Here<\/strong><\/a> \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Health Professional Vaccine Advocacy Group holds monthly calls during the legislative session to discuss vaccine related bills and other political issues impacting vaccinations.<\/p>\n

Community Awareness Committee<\/u> | Sign Up Here<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Provider Education Committee<\/u> | Sign Up Here<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

School Health Fourm<\/strong><\/u> <\/strong>| <\/strong>Sign Up Here<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/u><\/p>\n

This monthly School Health Forum was formed due to the rising rates of Arizona students being enrolled in school with more Personal Belief Exemptions (PBE’s) than ever. Higher PBE’s decrease our ability to protect students, and our communities against vaccine preventable disease outbreaks. Join the group and meet virtually with other charter, private, public and tribal school health staff to discuss common challenges, learn from one another and hear from guest speakers.\u00a0Seasoned and newer health staff are both welcome to attend the mentoring forum.<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
