posted 01.24.13

The Texas Medical Association’s Be Wise — Immunize program is currently accepting grant applications for local vaccination events in 2013. The program will offer Local Impact Grants for clinics that target children, adolescents, or adults. Grants of $500 to $1,500 are available to physicians, medical students, local TMA Alliance chapters, and county medical societies.

Funds can be used for a new shot clinic or an expanded event. Grant applications are due March 1. Awardees have up to 12 months to use the funds.

To help plan your free or low-cost vaccination event, check out the Be Wise — Immunize Quick Start Manual: A Step-by-Step Vaccination Outreach Guide and Be Wise Event Ideas.
