Checklist

COVID-19 Vaccine Booster Planning Checklist and Resources for Health Centers
HRSA collaborated with CDC to create this COVID-19 Vaccine Booster Planning Checklist for health centers. The checklist includes helpful information and tips, including resources to stay connected, readiness reminders, guidance on vaccine supply and administration, and more.

As a reminder, booster shots are vaccines given to people who built enough protection after completing an initial series of vaccinations, but that protection may have decreased over time. In a bulletin yesterday, we shared information on CDC’s recommendation for booster shots of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine in certain populations and also those in high risk occupational and institutional settings.

Here are some upcoming opportunities for you to learn more:

Today
  • What Clinicians Need to Know about the Latest CDC Recommendations for Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Booster Vaccination
    This afternoon, CDC’s Clinician Outreach and Communication Activity (COCA) Call will give clinicians an overview of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 booster vaccination. Clinicians will learn about the vaccine booster recommendations, safety of booster dose, and clinical guidance for using the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine as a booster.

    2:00-3:00 p.m. ET
    Join the session

    We expect the slides will be available under “Call Materials” on the COCA Call webpage later today, and a recording will be posted on the page a few hours after the event ends.
  • COVID-19 Booster Readiness Webcast for Health Centers
    This Friday, a joint HRSA and CDC webcast will provide guidance for health centers on boosters for older adults and those at high risk of severe COVID-19. HRSA Chief of Staff Jordan Grossman will introduce CDC speakers who will cover booster guidance, best practices to prepare for flu season, and vaccine co-administration.

Closing a Temporary Site?
If your health center needs to close a temporary service site, please contact your Project Officer to request that the site be removed from your Form 5B. There is no need to submit a change in scope request.

A change in scope request is required should you decide to make the temporary site a permanent site. For more information, see HRSA's Scope of Project webpage.


Updated Unmet Need Score Resources Now Available
The updated Unmet Need Score (UNS) and Service Area Status (SAS) Resource Guide and the UNS Frequently Asked Questions are now available on our Strategic Initiatives webpage. These new resources are the result of an extensive process HRSA undertook to update the original UNS and develop the new SAS based on stakeholder feedback and the changing health care landscape. HRSA will share additional information on the use of these resources in the future.

HRSA’s Loan Guarantee Program: An Overview
Join Capital Link to learn more about the Health Center Loan Guarantee Program (LGP), including benefits, eligibility, and the application process. The LGP offers loan guarantees to eligible health centers for the construction, renovation, and modernization of facilities. It can enhance a health center's credit profile and cover up to 80% of the principal amount of loans made by non-federal lenders. The LGP also reduces lender risk and allows a lender to provide a loan under more favorable terms than otherwise possible. Capital Link is a HRSA-funded National Training and Technical Assistance Partner (NTTAP).

The HHS Administration for Community Living (ACL), in partnership with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the U.S. Department of the Treasury, and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, will host a webinar on Thursday, September 30 to provide tools and information to help people learn more about and apply for ERAP resources.

How Climate Affects Community Health
CMS-required emergency preparedness plans should comprise four core elements: risk assessment; policies and procedures; a communications plan; and training and testing. As your health center prepares its plan, we encourage you to consider the potential impacts of climate change on community health. CDC’s Office on Climate and Health produced this video explaining how the effects of climate change (extreme heat, unhealthy air quality, and disease outbreaks) can impact community health.
