The Oregon Immunization Program worked with Oregon’s Emergency Preparedness program to provide vaccines as a preparedness exercise for the staff of the Native American Rehabilitation Association (NARA), an Urban Indian Healthcare provider located in Portland, Oregon. The goal of the exercise was to access and utilize the state of Oregon’s registry to identify NARA’s employee vaccination status, to test point of dispensing vaccine clinics at designated sites, and to communicate the availability of vaccines to NARA employees and interested conference participants.
