Mass Antibiotic Dispensing:
Partnering with Tribal Governments and Communities
Strategic National Stockpile (SNS) and
Public Health Training Network Satellite Broadcast and Webcast
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
Originally aired January 29, 2009

|
The capacity to reach every person in the community is the goal of any mass antibiotic dispensing campaign. In particular, planning for dispensing to American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) populations presents unique challenges for public health professionals, tribal leaders, and tribal health providers. Many public health planners are unsure how to reach out to and involve AI/AN communities in their mass antibiotic dispensing plans and drills. This broadcast will assist state and local Strategic National Stockpile (SNS) planners in determining how to effectively engage their neighboring tribal governments and communities. Participants from several states, counties, and tribal entities will discuss how to ensure that tribal leaders and stakeholders are appropriately involved in mass antibiotic dispensing and all-hazards planning.
