What can these funds support?
- Allowable Activities: Requested funds must be utilized to support and strengthen critical immunization planning and implementation requirements and activities to ensure effective and efficient COVID-19 vaccination distribution. This includes expanding the existing immunization infrastructure, engaging in additional partnerships, and implementing and evaluating new strategies to reach affected populations (such as those who may be vaccine hesitant, those who are in racial and ethnic or other minority groups).
- Examples of allowable PAVE costs include, but are not limited to:
- Local education campaigns to increase vaccine confidence and combat misinformation.
- Support to adapt materials for target audiences, including language translation.
- Media buys, such as radio and television ads.
- Sessions with trusted leaders among underserved and/or affected communities to better understand community needs (e.g. town hall meetings, focus groups, round table discussions, etc.).
- COVID-19 vaccination supplies (including personal protective equipment, sanitation, oxygen tanks/bottles, and injection site medical supplies) for vaccine events.
- Space rental for vaccine events, training, education, and focus groups.
- Assistance in providing access to vaccination activities, including transportation and mileage reimbursement (reimbursement will be provided at the federal rate or according to agency policy, whichever is less).
- Coverage of transportation costs (e.g. bus fare vouchers, ride share programs, and taxi fare). Note: Uber and Lyft offer free ride programs for vaccination.
- Personnel (e.g. meeting facilitators, vaccinators, translators).
- Examples of allowable PAVE costs include, but are not limited to:
- Unallowable Activities: PAVE funds are not allowed to be used for food or drinks, construction costs, purchase of vehicles, personal care outside of vaccination events, and vaccine incentives.
- Unallowable Costs: PAVE funds cannot replace other federal, state, or local funds that would otherwise be available for the proposed COVID-19 related activities. Applicants may not reduce or reallocate federal, state, or local funds for a particular activity or purchase specifically because PAVE funds are available.
