HRSA Awards $350 Million to Increase COVID-19 Vaccinations

HRSA awarded nearly $350 million to 1,471 HRSA-supported health centers to increase COVID-19 vaccinations in their communities, with a specific focus on underserved populations. This funding supports the Biden Administration’s efforts to get more Americans their updated COVID-19 vaccine before the end of the year. Read the White House fact sheet and HHS press release.

The fiscal year (FY) 2023 Expanding COVID-19 Vaccination (ECV) funding will support health centers in addressing the urgent need to increase access to and confidence in COVID-19 vaccines. Health centers can use these one-time funds to expand outreach and education, community engagement, and coordinated events to increase COVID-19 vaccinations through mobile, drive-up, walk-up, or community-based vaccination events, including working with community and faith-based organizations.

View an interactive map of the FY 2023 ECV award recipients, including a state-by-state breakdown.

Following today’s ECV award release, health centers will have until Sunday, January 8, 2023, to submit information about planned activities and costs to be supported by the funding. Award recipients must add their H8G grants to their HRSA Electronic Handbooks (EHBs) portfolio to view and complete the submission in EHBs.

Visit the ECV technical assistance webpage for award submission guidance, resources, and more.

HRSA will host Q&A sessions for award recipients. Given the short timeline, these sessions will be the most efficient way for you to get the answers you need. We will share the recordings, but we strongly encourage your attendance so you can participate live.
