Today, the Biden Administration is launching COVID.gov, a new one-stop shop website to help all people in the U.S. gain even better access to lifesaving tools like vaccines, tests, treatments, and masks, as well as get the latest updates on COVID-19 in their area. Read the White House fact sheet.
The site offers place-based guidance about COVID-19 and tools for prevention and treatment. One example is the Test-to-Treat locator that includes participants in the HRSA Health Center COVID-19 Therapeutics Program. (As a reminder, all HRSA-supported health centers with pharmacy capacity may now join that program.)
Share COVID.gov with your colleagues and patients. We’ll share promotional materials should those become available.
CDC Recommends Additional Boosters for Certain Individuals
Following FDA’s regulatory action yesterday, CDC updated its recommendations to allow certain immunocompromised individuals and people over the age of 50 who received an initial booster dose at least four months ago to be eligible for another mRNA booster to increase their protection against severe disease from COVID-19.
Separately and in addition, based on newly published data, adults who received a primary vaccine and booster dose of Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen COVID-19 vaccine at least four months ago may now receive a second booster dose using an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine.
