The Project Objectives Are

The 3-H Grant funding will be used to purchase and transport hepatitis B (also see GAVI) and MMR vaccines to Vladivostok. The Primorski Krai government health department will bring the vaccines through customs, transport them to storage, and arrange immunizations for all children aged one year and younger. Vladivostok Rotary Club members will monitor the process and work with the government to publicize the program and educate the public on the advantages of comprehensive immunization programs. They will also help in the administering and conducting the immunizations. A key element of any immunization program is to develop public acceptance and support. The Russian Clubs have been provided a 5Th edition copy of the CDC (Center for Disease Control) "Epidemology and Prevention of Vaccine-Preventable Diseases" manual which contains complete information about vaccines and conduct of immunization programs. This will provide them a current and reliable source for conducting the publicity and education elements.

Vladivostok and Vlad-Eco Rotary Clubs will gather the information necessary for the 3-H Grant reporting. They will also compile information about the pilot project to provide this to other Russian Rotary Clubs to help in expanding the program. They will gather statistics for showing the benefits of immunizations. And they along with Rotary Clubs outside Russia will be working to develop sources of affordable vaccines.
