If you have questions about the current situation regarding the COVID vaccines as we head into fall, you are certainly not alone. In my role as President of the Post-Acute and Long-Term Care Medical Association (PALTmed), we have been working hard to ensure our colleagues are up to speed on the current situation.

This week, I released this message to our PALTmed membership. Please take a look and make sure you are updated on the current FDA guidelines and be aware of the upcoming meetings that will set forth the recommendations for our upcoming respiratory virus season. We’ve also provided a list of steps you can take now to plan for the upcoming season in your facility, as well as a link where you can submit your questions and concerns for follow-up by our team.

Also, if you haven’t considered becoming a PALTmed member before, consider joining now to ensure that you and your teams receive the latest guidance, resources, and support to optimize care for your patients in acute and long-term care.
