Caresource Hosted Community Vaccination Clinics With The Indiana Immunization Coalition, Administering Over 1,000 Vaccines

CareSource, a nationally recognized nonprofit health plan, recently partnered with the Indiana Immunization Coalition to host a series of Community Immunization Clinics across the Indianapolis area. Participants in the clinics received all Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommended vaccines, including COVID-19 and Childhood Wellness vaccinations. In all, over 1,000 vaccines were given to Hoosiers as a result of the free clinics.

“CareSource knows the importance of meeting people where they are for their health care,” said Steve Smitherman, president of CareSource Indiana. “We’re proud to work with strong, community-based organizations to increase our state’s vaccination rates and protect more Hoosiers.”

The Indiana Immunization Coalition aims to reduce the spread of vaccine-preventable diseases through immunization education, advocacy, promotion and statewide collaborative partnerships.

“The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need for solid vaccine distribution plans for all immunizations,” said Lisa Robertson, executive director at Indiana Immunization Coalition. “We’ve found that community located vaccination clinics are essential in improving accessibility and fostering equity. We appreciate partners like CareSource for ensuring that we can continue to host these clinics throughout the state.”
