COVID-19 Survey Change
Later today, you’ll receive an email with this week’s COVID-19 survey. Public health experts fear that the spread of another respiratory illness in addition to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic could overburden the health care system. Given those concerns, we’ve added two questions about flu vaccination:
- Is your health center experiencing challenges obtaining an adequate supply of flu vaccine doses?
-
By race and ethnicity, how many flu vaccinations did your health center administer since August 2020?
This second question is asking about the total number of flu vaccinations since the beginning of August of this year.
Next week (for the Friday, October 30, survey), we’ll change the timeframe for that question. Beginning with next week’s survey, we’ll ask about flu vaccinations administered only within the previous week.
See a preview of the updated survey and a Survey Tool User Guide that further explains the data we’re collecting.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
We continually update our COVID-19 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) webpage. This week we added two new questions:
- Can health centers participate in COVID-19 clinical research trials?
- How has the COVID-19 public health emergency impacted FTCA site visits?
Other resources available include our coronavirus-related funding FAQ webpage and our COVID-19 Information for Health Centers and Partners webpage.
