How they approach the work
Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.
- Education for Preventionmethodology: education-for-preventionBy educating the public and healthcare professionals about meningococcal meningitis and vaccination, the foundation aims to increase vaccination rates and prevent disease, because knowledge leads to informed health decisions and policy change.
- Policy Advocacy through Educationmethodology: policy_advocacyBy educating lawmakers and influencing legislation, the foundation seeks to improve meningococcal vaccine policy, because policy-level change produces broader and more sustainable public health impact than individual interventions alone.
- Story-Based Advocacy for Policy Changemethodology: story-based advocacyBy sharing personal stories—particularly Kimberly’s—the foundation advocates for evidence-based vaccine policy and elimination of non-medical exemptions, because lived experience generates empathy and motivates lawmakers and the public to support stronger immunization requirements.
- Vaccine Education with Focus on Gaps in Coveragemethodology: vaccine_educationBy highlighting limitations in current meningococcal vaccination coverage—such as the lack of protection against meningitis B with MenACWY—the foundation increases demand for comprehensive vaccination, because awareness of risk gaps drives uptake of additional recommended vaccines.
