ABSTRACT
The eight U.S. territories and freely associated states (TFAS) have historically faced unique social and structural barriers in the implementation of vaccination programs due to geographic remoteness, a high prevalence of socioeconomic disparities, increasing prevalence of natural disasters, limited vaccine providers and clinics, difficulties with procurement and shipping, and difficulty tracking highly mobile populations. In the months leading up to emergency authorizations for the use of COVID-19 vaccines, the TFAS developed tailored vaccination strategies to ensure that key at-risk populations received timely vaccination, and successfully implemented these strategies during the first six months of the vaccine rollout. Subject matter experts supporting the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's COVID-19 Response recognized the unique historical, geographic, social, and cultural dynamics for residents in the TFAS and worked with partners to prevent, detect, and respond to the pandemic in these jurisdictions. As a result of innovative partnerships and vaccine distribution strategies, vaccine equity was improved in the TFAS during the COVID-19 vaccine rollout.
