Dear Colleagues,
The following resources have been brought to our attention and may help with your efforts to vaccinate the homebound populations.
- The United States Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has a new web page with guidance for vaccinating the homebound: https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19/clinical-considerations/homebound-persons.html
- The CDC also has updated information about vaccine storage and handling which at least mentions/refers to the issue of home health use: https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/hcp/admin/storage/toolkit/storage-handling-toolkit.pdf
- United States Pharmacopeia has some new guidance about handling of prefilled syringes that is relevant for home care providers: https://www.usp.org/covid-19/vaccine-handling-toolkit
We wish you share with your colleagues as we continue to fight the ongoing pandemic.
Warmly,
The National Home-Based Primary Care Learning Network
