Vaccine drives can be incredibly efficient, but also have a cost. Here's a look at the factors to consider before hosting your own event.

The planned Covid-19 booster rollout threatens to worsen existing inequities facing minorities and lower-income communities, paving the way for Americans with the wherewithal to navigate their way to the front of the immunization line, health experts say.
Of course people who have access to the internet and were savvy about making appointments were the ones who were making appointments. All the wealthy neighborhoods, somehow they were on top of things. And they were able to make appointments online and call the clinic.
Convening refers to the art and discipline of nurturing collective action. Unlike in countries with high individual autonomy, convening is effective in fighting COVID-19 since it advocates for shared solutions.
States are also starting to relax their rules around satellite clinics. Earlier this year, clinics were closed in New York State for deviating even minimally in vaccine administration or giving extra doses, and doctors were punished or suspended. Now that supplies are outweighing the demand, officials are loosening their grip. One of the best ways to ensure you're following the proper protocols is to partner with a nearby urgent-care facility, or other local health center that is offering vaccinations.
