  • Last week, the FDA amended the authorization of the bivalent COVID-19 vaccine. This decision has changed the COVID-19 vaccination guidance for many groups. Adults 65 years of age and older who received a bivalent booster at least 4 months ago are now eligible for a second bivalent booster, and immunocompromised people are eligible for a second bivalent booster at least two months after their last booster. Migrant Clinicians Network has published this helpful summary of the new guidance, available in English and Spanish, that you can use to help others determine how to stay up-to-date on vaccinations.
  • It’s Workers’ Memorial Week, and Worker Memorial Day is this Friday, April 28. Take the opportunity to commemorate those who died, were injured, or became ill at work, including those impacted by COVID-19. Check out these National COSH resources for information on how you can participate and take actions.
  • National Infant Immunization Week is also being observed this week, April 24 to 30. These CDC resources can help you talk to parents about vaccination of children and encourage them to keep children up to date on vaccinations to protect against many disease, including COVID-19.
