Welcome to Project VIVA
Project VIVA (Venue-Intensive Vaccines for Adults) is a community-based participatory research project of the Center for Urban Epidemiologic Studies (CUES) at The New York Academy of Medicine (NYAM) developed in collaboration with members of the Harlem Community and Academic Partnership (H-CAP).
The project was designed to quickly immunize hard-to-reach populations (e.g. injection drug users, elderly shut-ins, undocumented immigrants) in disadvantaged urban communities (East Harlem and the Bronx, New York City) by delivering free flu vaccines door-to-door and on street corners. Project VIVA also serves as an initial model for pandemic preparedness vaccination plans.
