LeadingAge Releases Booster Shot Toolkit for Long-Term Care Settings

With the Pfizer booster vaccine ready for rollout to long-term care residents and staff, LeadingAge has published a toolkit to help assisted living, affordable senior housing, life plan communities, and home- and community-based services organizations increase vaccine access. The toolkit covers four main topics, including resources for on- and off-site vaccine support, federal agency resources, and resources to get connected to vaccine-administering pharmacies. The toolkit includes compiled information on transit reimbursements for residents seeking vaccines in the broader community, educational materials from the CDC about getting vaccinated, and sample letters and surveys to get help communities get vaccine clinics set up. Some materials are available in English and Spanish, and LeadingAge has urged the CDC to make more translated materials available. LeadingAge will update the toolkit as more booster shots become available for more people. The toolkit is available here
