Pharmacy
Partnership for Long-term Care Program
CDC is partnering with pharmacies to offer on-site COVID-19
vaccination services for long-term care facilities when a vaccine becomes
available. The
Pharmacy Partnership for Long-term Care Program provides
end-to-end management of the COVID-19 vaccination process, including cold
chain management, on-site vaccinations, and fulfillment of
reporting requirements, to facilitate safe vaccination of this
patient population, while reducing burden on facilities and
jurisdictional health departments. The program is available for residents
and staff in long-term care settings including skilled nursing
facilities, nursing homes, assisted living facilities, residential care
homes, and adult family homes.
If you are an assisted living facility, independent living
facility, or similar adult/older adult congregate living setting, please
complete this online form: https://redcap.link/LTCF. Please respond by 11:59 pm
EDT on Friday, October 30, 2020.
If you are a CMS-certified long-term care facility, and
currently report data through NHSN, please login to
NHSN and look for the link to the Pharmacy Partnership Program
under Alerts.
