• Introduce San Francisco immunization providers to the California Immunization Registry to improve the precision by which they administer and track vaccines improving the safety and efficacy of immunization.
 

• Reduce child immunization protection disparities through targeted outreach activities to parents of Latino, African-American, and foreign-born children living in San Francisco neighborhoods.
