Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
We continually update our COVID-19 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) webpage and recently added these questions:
- Are health centers required to participate in the COVID-19 Claims Reimbursement to Health Care Providers and Facilities for Testing and Treatment of the Uninsured Program (HRSA COVID-19 Uninsured Program)?
- What can health centers do to support routine immunizations?
- What are the FTCA requirements governing the administration of vaccines by nurses or others who are called out of retirement?
- If health centers are considering drive-through vaccine clinics in fire stations or similar buildings, how can they ensure this activity is done on behalf of the health center and covered by FTCA? How will health centers add these temporary sites to scope?
- Can health centers purchase and provide COVID-19 at-home self-swab specimen collection kits to their patients?
We also added this question to our coronavirus-related funding FAQ webpage:
- Which Health Center Program federal award funds can be used to support routine immunizations?
Catch Up to Get Ahead
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to alarming declines in well-child visits and routine immunization rates. In support of National Immunization Awareness Month, HRSA urges health centers and health care providers to “catch-up to get ahead” on childhood immunizations. In a recent bulletin, we suggested ways health centers can help and invited you to share how your health center is making a difference.
