The resolution urges the Louisiana Department of Health to enhance access to immunization services and provide information on immunization-preventable diseases, particularly in rural and low-income communities. It highlights the challenges these areas face, such as distance from healthcare providers, transportation issues, and workforce shortages, which hinder access to necessary immunizations. The resolution emphasizes the importance of increasing immunization rates to protect public health, reduce preventable hospitalizations, and ultimately save healthcare costs for the state.

Additionally, the resolution calls for collaboration among health agencies, elected officials, and community leaders to identify gaps in immunization access and develop tailored strategies to address these issues. It underscores the commitment to ensuring that all residents of Louisiana, regardless of their geographic or economic circumstances, have the opportunity to make informed decisions about their health and access preventive care effectively.
