Bivalent Booster Blitz
On December 2022, the White House announced a 6-week sprint to reduce COVID-19-related mortalities in Nursing Homes. This would be accomplished through increased bivalent vaccination booster rates and the use of therapeutics, such as Paxlovid and Remdesivir for COVID-19 infections. CMS directed the QIN-QIOs to redouble their efforts related to Covid-19 and use of therapeutics for Nursing Home residents, in conjunction with the White House’s 6-week sprint.
This campaign will include resources, materials, graphics and social media engagement to increase awareness.
