13 Stakeholder Assessment Findings Immunization Funding and Policies
14 We turn away approximately clients/month due to the eligibility changes. Many people regard us as the experts in immunizations and prefer to receive their vaccines from us. - TVFC Coordinator Many parents say their primary care providers don t carry the vaccines and they can t afford to pay the private vaccine prices. So, I don t know if they are finding physicians who do carry the vaccines or if they are just delaying getting vaccinated. - Stakeholder, Wichita Falls The new, more restrictive eligibility requirements have increased staff time necessary to screen patients and especially to explain to former patients why we can t serve them anymore. - Employee, public health dept
15 Health Science applicants are having a difficult time trying to find low cost vaccines, and financial aid doesn t pay for them. -Employee, Community College, Houston We live in a very rural area of south Texas. Adults are not receiving the vaccinations they need because of the distance they have to drive to receive them. -Employee, public health department Most adults we hear from say that they will just give up on fighting or chasing their insurance company. Many tell us that they will not bother with immunizations anymore. This is especially true of our minority and high-risk populations. -Director, public health department
