Hello,
Thank you to those of you who have completed this survey. If you haven't had a chance yet, please see the message below, and note the deadline of Wednesday Nov. 20th. Feel free to reach out to the study team with any questions. We really appreciate your participation!
We'd like to invite you to participate in a study funded by the National Institutes of Health and conducted by researchers from RAND (a nonprofit research organization). We're examining the impact of vaccination clinics offered through schools on vaccination uptake among school-aged children in Colorado. We're interested in vaccine clinics that are either (1) offered on a school campus or (2) held off-campus but sponsored by a school.
To participate, you'd complete a brief online survey by Wednesday November 20th and receive a $50 Amazon gift card as a thank you for your time.
To be eligible to take this survey, you must be a school nurse currently working in at least one public school in Colorado. You do not need to have direct experience with school-associated vaccination clinics. In fact, we want to hear from those who have and have not offered vaccination events through their schools! Before you get started, we suggest gathering any documents (like calendars, reports, logs) related to vaccination events offered through your school(s) since 2018 to help jog your memory.

If you have questions or would like more information, please contact our study team at ColoradoSchoolVaccination@rand.org.
Thank you so much!
