Mobile health units can improve access to preventive health services, especially for medically underserved populations. However, there is little published experience of mobile health units being used to expand access to COVID-19 vaccination. In concert with local public health departments and community members, we implemented a mobile COVID-19 health unit and deployed it to 12 predominantly low-income and racial/ethnic minority communities in Massachusetts. We describe the success and challenges of this innovative program in expanding access to COVID-19 vaccination. (. 2022;112(11):1556-1559. https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2022.307021).
移动医疗单位可以改善获得预防保健服务的机会，尤其是对医疗服务不足的人群。然而，很少有关于使用移动医疗单位来扩大 COVID-19 疫苗接种机会的经验。我们与当地公共卫生部门和社区成员合作，实施了一个移动 COVID-19 医疗单位，并将其部署到马萨诸塞州的 12 个主要低收入和种族/少数民族社区。我们描述了这个创新项目在扩大 COVID-19 疫苗接种机会方面的成功和挑战。（. 2022;112(11):1556-1559. https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2022.307021）。
