This Week: New Health Center/Look-Alike Survey Questions
We want to give you advanced notice of four questions we’re adding to the survey beginning this week (the survey you’ll receive on Friday, January 8).

• How many health center staff members have initiated their COVID-19 immunization series in the last week?
• How many health center staff members have completed their COVID-19 immunization series in the last week?
• By race and ethnicity, how many patients have initiated their COVID-19 immunization series in the last week?
• By race and ethnicity, how many patients have completed their COVID-19 immunization series in the last week?

At the same time, we will remove two existing questions about tests for antibody detection (serology).

We are also in the process of updating the survey user guide to be more user-friendly. Beginning with this week’s survey, you’ll see question numbers and other improvements within the survey. Visit the user guide where you can quickly “jump” to instructions related to a specific question.
