Multi-Level Public Health Resilience-Building Intervention: Vaccination bring us closer

Based on the epidemiological data, we can see that the United States has the highest number of COVID-19 in the world, with 13,386,255 cases. Furthermore, there were 8613,630 cases and 204,873 during the pandemic, while there were a total of 1529,691 cases and 29,313 deaths in rural areas (Diego et al., 2021). If left untreated, the number of cases and death will continue to rise, especially in rural communities since they have the lowest healthcare resources.

For this intervention, I strictly focus on older adults since they have a higher chance of contracting the virus. Also, the incidence rate is higher in adults over 65 years of age, and in rural communities death rate is higher compared to urban.

To analyze this intervention, I used the CDC model:

Individual level:

1. Conduct education programs to help individuals understand the vaccine’s importance,
2. provide clear and up-to-date guidance on the vaccine, and motivate these individuals.

Relationship level:

1. Build vaccine confidence among rural communities through factual communication strategies, transparency, and campaign.
2. Answer the common questions they might have about the vaccines.
3. Invite healthcare leaders in rural counties to talk about their personal experiences of getting vaccinated.

Community level:

1. Help increase the vaccine site in rural counties to have enough equipment to help patients get vaccinated at no cost.
2. Post different posters in their community so they can be aware of the vaccine.
3. Share social media ads so people who are on social media can have access to the vaccine.

Societal level:

1. Encourage the states to provide more benefits like medical supplies such as masks and other funding that will help the vaccine rate to go up. Reduce vaccines in the rural community.
