Kansas City

The Kansas City Health Dept. is looking for a firm to run a grassroots COVID-19 vaccination educational campaign aimed at its Hispanic community.

Only 41.1 percent of Missourians are fully vaccinated. The Show Me State has the nation’s fourth-highest COVID-19 diagnosis rate, as one out of every 360 people has the virus. 

KCHD’s PR partner “should expect scientific review, quickly changing information and should understand that the work they do can keep the city safe, open and healthy,” according to the RFP.

The firm will conduct focus groups and listening sessions with members of the Hispanic community (individuals, families, organizations and businesses) and then devise culturally appropriate outreach to encourage people to get their vaccinations.

The one-year effort is budgeted at $120K.

Responses are due Aug. 5.  They go via mail or email to:
