Are you checking the CDC, your state health department, OSHA, and CMS websites daily?  If not, you need to start this habit today.  If you are an APIC member (I highly recommend), they also have weekly updates on their website.  It's so critical that you stay on top of current recommendations for your facility to build trust with staff and promote the safest practices for patients.  If you don't have time to physically check all the websites, sign up for their emails if available.  This will save you time and effort plus you will get the most accurate information.  Here are some key updates from the past couple of weeks in case you missed them.
CDC Updates for Vaccinated Healthcare workers
CDC Guidance for Fully Vaccinated People
Resuming J&J Vaccine
CMS Nursing Home Visitation
CMS Updates
I know it's tough to think about anything other than COVID-19 right now, but we still have a job to do.  It's important that you stay focused on all of the infection prevention activities we have to do on a daily basis.  Unfortunately, there are still other infections occurring and it's our job to prevent them. If you are struggling to figure out how to make COVID-19 part of your daily routine, check out this podcast. You can also download my free checklist for incorporating COVID-19 into your daily tasks.
