July 22, 2021

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) provided nearly $100 million to Rural Health Clinics (RHCs) across the country to support outreach efforts to increase vaccinations in rural communities. The funds will go to more than 1,980 RHCs who will use these resources to develop and implement additional vaccine confidence and outreach efforts as many communities face the Delta variant and work to get more people vaccinated and protected from COVID-19 in medically underserved rural communities. The funding was made available by the American Rescue Plan and is being administered by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) through the Rural Health Clinic Vaccine Confidence (RHCVC) Program.
