COVID-19 Homebound Patient Vaccination Survey

We have an opportunity to work with the White House to help establish a nationwide program to provide vaccinations to homebound patients. The White House officials have asked us to gather information about the extent to which home health agencies, home care companies, and hospices will be able and willing to participate and what barriers need to be addressed. 

In discussions with White House officials, the preference is to make vaccines available to home care companies through the state and local health departments with a designated vaccine allocation. They considered the alternatives of direct delivery to home care companies, use of local pharmacies, and partnering with Federally Qualified Health Centers. These alternatives were rejected because of significant logistical and legal concerns. In responding to this survey, please respond with an understanding that the project would rely upon the health departments for the vaccine supply and distribution.
