Georgia is looking for a partner to promote vaccine awareness and help coordinate the annual “Immunize Georgia” conference that runs each September.
The firm will work with public/private healthcare providers and advocacy groups to increase immunization rates for all Georgians and decrease the incidence of vaccine-preventable diseases.
Though most infants and toddlers receive all recommended shots by age 2, there are many under-immunized children that create the potential for outbreaks of disease, according to the RFP from the Peach State's public health department.
Many adolescents and adults are under-immunized and are susceptible to Hepatitis B, influenza and pneumococcal disease.
The firm will create media toolkits tied to annual Centers for Disease Control and Prevention immunization drives and deliver campaign messaging to public information officers.
Proposals are due December 10. Georgia intends to issue a one-year contract with options to renew for four more one-year periods.
Interested firms must register at the Team Georgia Marketplace.
