With students back to school this summer, many returning to in-person university and college campuses, as well as options to work in-office- the need to be vaccinated could not be higher. The Delta Variant continues to spread rapidly in communities with low vaccination rates, the FDA Approved the Pfizer Vaccine, and the Administration has a Path Out of the Pandemic Guideline available on the White House website. Read the following for resources, webinars, and more.

Resources
Topline Messaging on Booster Doses:
• What: The FDA amended the Emergency Use Authorization for the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines to allow for the use of a third dose in some immunocompromised individuals, and the CDC now recommends that immune compromised individuals who got the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine get an additional dose.
• Who: Significantly immunocompromised people — such as people who have received solid organ transplants or are receiving cancer treatments — and received either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines are recommended to get an additional vaccine dose. The FDA and CDC did not approve nor recommend boosters for people without compromised immune systems, nor for recipients of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
• Why: People with compromised immune systems may have a reduced ability to respond to vaccines, including COVID-19. New data show that a third dose of the mRNA vaccines helps to increase the effectiveness of the vaccine for this group. The need for this third dose is not due to a waning effect of the two-dose regimen.
