E-News Updates

This week, the DPH released updated guidance on Vaccination Options for Long Term Care Residents and Staff following the Federal Pharmacy Partnership Program. The updated guidance now permits long-term care staff to receive a first or second dose of COVID-19 vaccine at the long-term care facility.

Join us for a live webinar on May 12, 2021 that will focus on addressing the challenges of returning to pre-pandemic operations. During this webinar we will discuss different approaches to sunsetting 1135 waivers for alarm and fire suppression system testing, emergency storage, emergency preparedness education for staff, and other changes that will expire after the national emergency declaration ends. In addition, learn about trends in survey citations and hot-button issues that may arise when regular life safety surveys resume.
