This Week: New Health Center/Look-Alike Survey Questions
Thank you to those of you who continue to complete the weekly COVID-19 survey! New questions on COVID-19 vaccine administration will help us understand the technical assistance and resources you need to deploy the COVID-19 vaccine.

We’re adding an additional NEW question to the survey beginning this week (the survey you’ll receive on Friday, January 8).

  • What challenges does your health center face in deploying the COVID-19 vaccine?

As we’ve shared previously, we’re also adding these four questions:

  • How many health center staff members have initiated (1st dose received) their COVID-19 immunization series in the last week?
  • How many health center staff members have completed (2nd dose received) their COVID-19 immunization series in the last week?
  • By race and ethnicity, how many patients have initiated (1st dose received) their COVID-19 immunization series in the last week?
  • By race and ethnicity, how many patients have completed (2nd dose received) 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.

COVID-19 Vaccine Education Resources
The Ad Council and the COVID Collaborative have launched a video series featuring Dr. Anthony Fauci and other experts to address health care professionals’ questions about COVID-19 vaccination. They also produced a Partner Amplification Toolkit, which features resources such as talking points and customizable social media copy, which organizations can use to share information on their own channels.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
This week, we added a Vaccines category, with several new questions, to our COVID-19 FAQ webpage. Other resources available include our coronavirus-related funding FAQ webpage and our COVID-19 Information for Health Centers and Partners webpage.
