This comprises most of the scoring since outreach is essential. Originality is scored according to innovation and creativity. Participation includes the number of students, practitioners, nurses or health care professionals. The outcome is crucial as to how many individuals were educated and received immunizations and benefiting directly from Operation Immunization . Regional and National awards WILL NOT be based solely on numbers immunized.
Chapters advocating and educating patients about immunizations are just as crucial.
All chapters who have participated in one way or another are encouraged to submit a reporting form for their activities. Judges will judge each school by region and determine a regional winner for all eight regions. One APhA-ASP chapter will be awarded the as the National Winner. The National Winner can not win a Regional Award as well.
