摘要:
The Save Our Seniors (SOS) program was created by local government officials in South Texas to vaccinate the community's most vulnerable citizens amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. The Corpus Christi Fire Department (CCFD) collaborated with various local government entities and other organizations to identify individuals needing the vaccine but unable to leave home. The program was soon adopted statewide and beyond. Using data collected from interviews with the public officials and emergency management personnel responsible for the creation of the SOS program, this Viewpoint provides information about the collaborative efforts used to implement the program and offers best practices for collaboration in local emergency management.
