Sincerely,

AHCA/NCAL surveyed members with different staff vaccination rates to understand what differentiates high versus low uptake rates. Check out this new resource, AHCA/NCAL Top Strategies to Improve Staff Vaccination Rates, which describes the top ways nursing homes achieved high staff vaccination rates  

 

Additional resources and template materials can be found on AHCA/NCAL’s #GetVaccinated webpage.

 

If you have not done so, we would encourage you to take the VDH survey on vaccine update in Virginia. Your vaccine point-of-contact should have received an invitation from [email protected] to take a facility-specific survey last week. You can view the general survey link here.

As the Pharmacy Partnership for Long Term Care (LTC) is coming to an end, join AHCA/NCAL for a discussion on the next phase of vaccine distribution for LTC. The AHCA/NCAL team will be available to answer your questions about how to continue to access vaccinations and share information on the Johnson and Johnson vaccination.

 

This webinar is available to everyone. Registration for the live webinar will be limited to protect webinar performance.

 

Monoclonal antibody (mAb) therapy has been developed to treat viral infections including COVID-19. Treatments have been approved for patients with COVID-19 who are at risk of progression to severe disease. We wanted to share news about an upcoming webinar explaining more about mAb treatments and a new initiative to bring this therapy into LTCFs.

 

AHCA/NCAL has announced it is partnering with a coalition of other national associations to help connect Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) volunteers with resources for mAb infusion in LTCFs. The initiative is intended to create a pathway that facilitates the use of trained volunteers from local MRC units to support infusion of potentially life-saving mAb therapies.
