National Immunization Month
Public Health Services is dedicated to community wellness and health protection in San Diego County. The San Diego County Immunization Unit's mission is to eliminate vaccine-preventable diseases by improving vaccine coverage for all San Diegans.
The Health and Human Services Agency of the County of San Diego provides a variety of Immunization Clinics across San Diego County, from North County such as Temecula and Oceanside, to the South Bay of Chula Vista. Most of the clinics provides routine childhood and adolescent vaccines to protect against an array of preventable diseases, especially as they return back to school.

Share Your Feedback
211/CIE San Diego, as a research project partner of UCSF SIREN, is helping to disseminate a statewide survey about how CalAIM implementation is going.
To participate in the survey, click here.
As part of our joint work, we invite all CIE Partners to participate in this survey launched by the California Health Care Foundation (CHCF). The goals of the survey are to document how CalAIM implementation is going from a variety of perspectives in order to inform key CalAIM stakeholders and decision makers. We are seeking to hear from all types of organizations that could be involved in CalAIM implementation, including clinical organizations, CBOs, and health plans. Even if an organization has chosen not to participate in CalAIM, we are still interested in hearing their thoughts about CalAIM.
The survey is estimated to take 20 minutes to complete. Individuals who complete the survey will receive a $25 gift card as compensation for your valuable time. The ideal respondents for this survey are individuals responsible for managing CalAIM initiatives at your organization. However, responses from others are welcome as well. We also encourage sharing this survey with colleagues at other organizations who may be interested in contributing their perspectives about CalAIM. Responses will be completely anonymous.
This 3-year research project, funded by Systems for Action - a program of Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, is titled:
Can California's CalAIM Medicaid Transformation Initiative Achieve Systems Integration? Identifying Key Facilitators of Cross-Sectoral Coordination for Individuals with Complex Needs or at High Risk
The results of the survey will be shared publicly and with key stakeholders in the fall to help inform CalAIM implementation. We hope you are able to participate in this important effort to help improve CalAIM implementation!

Power Saver Rewards Program
The Power Saver Rewards (PSR) launched in May 2022 as a four-year pilot program, created by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) to make the electric grid more resilient during hot summer days when demand for electricity is extremely high.
211/CIE San Diego support Power Saver Rewards because it helps prevent power outages and gives folks rewards when they use less energy during a Flex Alert. Power outages often harm the most vulnerable members of our community, like young children, the elderly, disabled people, and those struggling to make ends meet.
A Flex Alert advises us when to reduce electricity use to help prevent a power outage. Power Saver Rewards gives you a credit back on your bill when you reduce energy use during a Flex Alert.
Here’s how it works -
-
Sign up at PowerSaverRewards.org
- Reduce your energy use while a Flex Alert is in effect (usually 4:00-9:00 p.m.)
- Get a credit back on your energy bill Most enrollees will see their first bill credit at the beginning of the new year, but check with your utility provider for details.
