As COVID-19 vaccines continue rolling out
across the country, CMS is taking action to protect the health and safety
of our nation’s patients and providers and keeping you updated on the
latest COVID-19 resources from the Department of Health and Human Services
(HHS), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Centers
for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
With information coming from many different
sources, CMS has summarized resources and materials to help you communicate
with the people that you serve. You can find these and more resources on
the COVID-19 Partner Resources Page and the HHS COVID Education Campaign page. We
look forward to working with you to encourage our beneficiaries and
consumers to get vaccinated. For more information, visit the CMS COVID-19 Policies and Guidance page.
June is National COVID-19
Vaccine Month of Action
The HHS “We Can Do This” COVID-19 Community
Corps has kicked off a month-long mobilization effort to get our
communities vaccinated by July 4th! The National Vaccine Month
of Action is a collaborative effort with thousands of national
organizations, community-based partners, and everyday people, serving as
trusted messengers, listening to people’s concerns, and helping them
make informed decisions about COVID-19 vaccinations.
There are plenty of ways to take action
near you or virtually. You can find more opportunities to participate here.
“Back to School” Vaccinations
The Connecting Kids to Coverage National
Campaign aims to get children and teens vaccinated so they are protected
when they go back to in-person learning. Whether your organization is
looking to catch children up on missed vaccines or promoting the COVID-19
vaccine to adolescents, you can find the Campaign’s many resources to
promote well-child visits and vaccines on InsureKidsNow.gov.
