Exploring the feasibility and acceptability of community paramedicine programs in achieving vaccination equity: a qualitative study
Our study provides important context on the feasibility and acceptability of implementing an MIH-CP program. Findings offer valuable insights into reducing health disparities seen in vaccine uptake through community paramedics, a novel and innovative approach to reduce health disparities in rural communities.
