HHS Offers Vaccination Access Resources for People With Disabilities and Older Adults

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services last week published several resources to support greater access to vaccines for people with disabilities and older adults. The resources—for states, vaccination providers, and others leading COVID-19 response activities—clarify legal requirements, illustrate barriers to vaccine access in these populations, and offer strategies for increasing accessibility.

News & Knowledge
All Curi recommendations are based on current CDC criteria at the time of publication. CDC guidance for SARS-CoV-2 infection may, or may not, be adopted by state and local health departments to respond to rapidly changing local circumstances. Providers should always check with their local health department to see if the CDC’s guidance on any given topic has been modified (particularly if more restrictive) from the CDC’s recommended guidelines. Follow this link https://www.cdc.gov/publichealthgateway/healthdirectories/index.html for contact information to your state/local health department. If local recommendations vary from those of the CDC, and you are unsure what recommendations to follow, then it is safer to follow the more restrictive guidelines/recommendations.
