Max The Vax Program is a health communication

program to help improve the immunization rates for

adult Latinos in the Charlotte area of NC. Latinos are
often at higher risk for outbreaks of infectious
diseases due to no insurance, low-income, and low
education. This program will collaborate with the
National Council of La Raza to encourage strategies
providers, clinics, and community programs can
utilize to reach the Latino population. We focus on
reducing barriers and increasing access to improve
the overall immunization delivery through culturally
appropriate interventions. Participants also receive a
free bi-lingual shot health record upon their visit.
Together we can maximize the vaccines for Latinos!
