COVID-19 vaccine updates for health care professionals

COVID-19 Vaccine Onboarding Program

Health care professionals are uniquely positioned to provide information, answer questions and immunize individuals against COVID-19. The COVID-19 Vaccine Onboarding Program allows for administration of the COVID-19 vaccine by all eligible facilities. Ensuring ongoing access to COVID-19 vaccines across various health care settings promotes individuals remaining up to date with their COVID-19 vaccines—both for primary series and booster doses.
