Employer: Massachusetts Department of Public Health Expires: 04/25/2026 DPH Paid Internship Program, Fall 2026-Spring 2027Bureau of Infectious Disease and Laboratory Sciences (BIDLS) Intern Project Name: Influenza Vaccination Improvement Campaign Intern Title: Project Coordinator Intern Eligible Academic Level: Bachelor’s Preferred Field(s) of Study: Public Health, Health Communications, Community Health, Health Education, Global Health, Biology Semester: Fall   Total Hours: 144    Hours Per Week: Part Time (approx. 12 hours)  Work Arrangement: Hybrid  On Site Location: 250 Washington Street, Boston MA      Position Overview:  The Massachusetts Vaccine Confidence Project (MVCP) is a statewide initiative established to increase vaccine confidence throughout the Commonwealth. Vaccine hesitancy remains a significant barrier to increasing uptake of vaccines that prevent illness. To address this challenge, the MVCP team creates engaging, science-based activities and communications. These initiatives aim to educate and empower providers as well as the community.  The Massachusetts Immunization Division promotes the health of Commonwealth residents by reducing the burden of vaccine preventable diseases. Influenza (flu) is a viral respiratory disease that can be very serious. Getting an annual flu vaccine is the best protection. Flu vaccination coverage in Massachusetts residents has steadily dropped year-to-year since 2020, from 46.7% in the 2020-2021 season to 36.9% in the 2025-2026 season (data as of January 2026).  Immunization providers serve as the frontline for vaccination education and administration. While there are many aspects to a patient’s decision to receive the flu vaccine, activities from the provider level can make a difference such as social media efforts, Immunization Information System (IIS) reminder/recall outreach, and strong recommendations during routine appointments. Providers may not review flu vaccine administration data until it is time to order vaccine for the next season. Generating data reports throughout the season supplemented by tips for advancement will allow clinics to better understand how successfully each patient population is served compared to previous seasons and similar clinics. Additionally, research shows that internal competition models result in more positive outcomes and increased morale as teams work towards a common goal. Tangible targets enhance focus on common goals while recognition of achievements reinforces forward momentum. This project will utilize competition models, targeted goals, and program recognition to encourage providers and increase flu vaccination coverage among Massachusetts residents.  Responsibilities The intern will create a seasonal flu vaccination improvement campaign for Massachusetts providers, to be implemented for the 2026-2027 flu season. The goal of this campaign is to increase flu vaccination rates using an internal/external competition model for immunization providers. Participating providers will receive weekly emails reporting vaccine administration (two-week lag) and supporting materials. Working with the Data Assessment, Vaccine Unit, and MVCP teams, the intern will design: Progress targets by provider type and patient population size Badge board and stickers, to be displayed by providers as targets are reached Template weekly provider reports derived from Massachusetts IIS data Template weekly email Educational materials, curated from MVCP resource database End of season performance-based awards Cohorts of participating providers by size of patient population and average flu vaccine throughput End of season survey to evaluate impact Examples from a different state will be provided. The intern will utilize tools such as Canva, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft Outlook to complete the project. Experience with data visualization and public health communication will be beneficial but not required.  The intern will fully design the required materials for this campaign, to be implemented beginning in October 2026 and deployed by the Immunization Division each year after.  Skills & Qualifications:  Required: Excited to be creative, inventive, and innovative Strong analytical and critical thinking skills Excellent written and verbal communication abilities Proficiency with Microsoft Office suite Detail-oriented and ability to manage time Ability to work independently and as part of a team
