The vending machines provide resources for overdose prevention, infection prevention, basic needs and nicotine replacement therapy (NRT). We aim to describe the development and rollout of the vending machines and present data about items taken most frequently by setting. Learning Objectives: • Participants will be able to define harm-reduction and identify three strategies of harm reduction. • Participants will be able to identify the benefit of public health vending machines in the jail and community-based corrections.
