Abstract: The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) is requesting an expedited review from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for two data collection tools critical for vaccine distribution to health centers for the Health Center COVID-19 Vaccine Program. The Readiness Assessment – a one-time tool to collect data on the readiness and interest of HRSA-funded health centers preliminarily identified by CDC and HRSA to receive a direct allocation of a limited supply of COVID-19 vaccines, and the weekly COVID-19 Data Collection Survey Tool with an Addendum for health centers participating in the Program are essential to help track vaccine needs and capacity for health center sites, as well as evaluate program implementation. Respondents are Health Centers and Health Center Look-Alikes who are essential in meeting White House goals of equitable vaccine distribution, given the special populations that they serve. HRSA funds 1,400 health centers operating 13,000 services delivery sites serving nearly 30 million people under the Health Center Program. These respondents will play a critical role in ensuring the White House goal to deliver 100 million vaccinations in the first 100 days of the new administration, with a focus on equity.

Emergency Justfication: These data collection tools were developed by HRSA to support implementation of the Health Center COVID-19 Vaccine Program and improve HRSA’s ability to provide resources and technical assistance to health centers and strengthen the federal response to the COVID-19 pandemic. These data collection tools are essential for HRSA’s ability to assess: (1) the readiness and interest of HRSA-funded health centers preliminarily identified by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and HRSA to receive a direct allocation of a limited supply of COVID-19 vaccines, and (2) progress in vaccine administration and equitable access to vaccine.
