The White House and CDC are looking to help states better incorporate primary care into their COVID-19 vaccination strategy. They have launched a three-pronged effort that includes:
The federal government does not plan to make any direct allocations of vaccine to primary care, apart from the existing health center program. The administration’s plan comes at a time when many primary care practices are asking to play a more active role in COVID-19 vaccination efforts but lack supply and local/state coordination. The latest Larry A. Green Center/PCC survey of primary care clinicians shows that more practices are now administering COVID-19 vaccines but still not a majority.
Are you a physician, nurse practitioner, or PA working in primary care?
Help PCC and the Larry A. Green Center track how your practice is responding to the COVID-19 outbreak by completing the Green Center's occasional survey.
