Becker's Healthcare November 23, 2022
The White House aims to reinvigorate national COVID-19 vaccination efforts through a six-week campaign announced Nov. 22.
The vaccination campaign will focus on seniors, communities hit hardest by COVID-19 and those living in rural areas. The White House has also allocated $350 million for community health centers and $125 million for community-based organizations to help increase the pace of vaccinations.
The White House is also tapping the healthcare workforce to encourage vaccinations for older Americans. On Nov. 21, a group of the nation’s leading medical societies — including the American Medical Association and American Academy of Family Physicians — encouraged members “to use every interaction with patients as an opportunity to make strong vaccine recommendations.”
