The objectives of the St Thomas Immunization Initiative are to provide a clinical community medicine experience for first- and second-year medical students, expose students to a community immunization program, teach students the principles of a community immunization program, and demonstrate a working relationship between the residents of an underserved community and medical students. From 1993 to 1995, first- and second-year students at Tulane University Medical School participated in class projects known as Shots for Tots and the St Thomas Immunization Initiative. Students received instruction about immunizations and administered vaccinations to children and adults in low-income neighborhoods. A total of 754 immunizations were administered to 331 children from 1993 to 1995. Participating students were surveyed and 82% of those who responded to a questionnaire felt that the project benefited the community it served while 79% felt that they personally benefitted from participating in the project. Given their experience, 96% of the students would be more likely to participate in a community development project in the future.
圣托马斯免疫倡议的目标是为一年级和二年级医学生提供临床社区医学体验，让学生接触社区免疫计划，教授学生社区免疫计划的原则，并展示服务不足社区的居民与医学生之间的合作关系。1993年至1995年，杜兰大学医学院的一年级和二年级学生参与了名为“儿童疫苗接种”和圣托马斯免疫倡议的课堂项目。学生们接受了免疫接种方面的指导，并为低收入社区的儿童和成人接种疫苗。1993年至1995年，共为331名儿童接种了754次疫苗。参与项目的学生接受了调查，在回复问卷的学生中，82%的人认为该项目使所服务的社区受益，79%的人认为自己从参与项目中受益。基于他们的经历，96%的学生未来更有可能参与社区发展项目。
