VDH is trying to better understand how much additional COVID-19 vaccine will be needed in long term care facilities (LTCFs) once the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) and CDC guidelines for boosters and third doses are released. The agency has issued a REDCap survey to help it plan for these future vaccine needs; DSS has also encouraged assisted living facilities to complete the survey.

These data are crucial as they will help VDH plan accordingly based on the vaccine needs and enable VDH to successfully support LTCFs in ensuring they have access to COVID vaccines.

Take the survey: https://redcap.vdh.virginia.gov/redcap/surveys/?s=CTHEWPMXWR 

VDH is requesting that all survey responses be completed by close of business on September 10. If you are part of a CCRC/multicare facility, please fill out separate forms for each entity.

If you have questions about the survey, please reach out to Mounika Bazar or Sumaia Kamal.
