Overview

Mission

To foster a comprehensive, sustained community program for the immunization of arizonans against vaccine preventable diseases.

What it reported doing in 2024

Expenses, community and provider education: communication and education are key factors in removing barriers to immunization. Many individuals understand the value of vaccination in warding off disease, but few understand the importance of a well vaccinated community in preventing the spread of disease. Through educational materials and messages developed by tapi's community education committee, appropriate tools are developed for all partners in the immunization coalition. Up to date educational materials that include the immunization schedule and recommendations are available for infants, children, teens and families. These can be obtained by community partners through the tapi website, www.whyimmunize.org at no cost. Doctors, nurses and medical office staff are considered experts when immunizations are the topic of conversation. Pediatricians, family physicians and nurse practitioners are key partners in reaching and maintaining our goal of 90% age-appropriate immunization coverage levels of our 2-year-old children to establish immunity to vaccine preventable diseases. Both in practice and in message, the interactions between practitioners and their patients and/or parents are significant in a decision to immunize. Tapi works with professional medical organizations to promote immunization best practices to arizonans of all ages. Programs are offered throughout the state that provide up to date, comprehensive trainings for all levels of medical office and clinic staff. The goal is to implement a process of immunization delivery and science-based communication to all arizonans throughout their lifespan. In 2023 over 800 statewide attendees participated in training sessions.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 67% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and liabilities are high compared with assets.
