White House COVID Response Team Town Hall: Primary Care Providers, Health Systems and the Next Phase of Vaccination Rolloout June 11, 2021 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM
Primary Care Providers, Health Systems, and the Next Phase of the Vaccination Rollout
Bechara Choucair, MD, Vaccinations Coordinator, White House COVID Response Team invites MSDC members to participate in a virtual town hall on Primary Care Providers, Health Systems, and the Next Phase of the Vaccination Rollout
From Drs. Choucair and Murthy:
The event will be an opportunity to thank primary care providers and health systems for their service to their patients, state, and country throughout the COVID-19 response and vaccine rollout. It will focus on the importance of primary care providers and health systems in further expanding efforts to administer vaccination programs and educate their patients on the vaccine, as well as the tools the federal government is providing to support them. It will also touch on how state and local health departments can help enable vaccinations at primary care provider offices.
The event will feature five conversations with primary care providers, health system leaders, and state health officials on innovative approaches they are taking to patient outreach and implementing vaccination program at primary care provider offices. Each conversation will be chaired by a different public health leader from the Biden Administration – Dr. Fauci, Dr. Walensky, Dr. Murthy, Dr. Nunez-Smith, and Dr. Choucair.
The Biden Administration has worked closely with U.S. provider associations, health systems, and state and local health departments to expand the role of primary care providers as COVID-19 vaccinators and as vaccine ambassadors. We share our gratitude for their partnership, and look forward to building on it during this event and in the weeks to come.
Please see information for how to view the event below. We look forward to seeing you there.
Thank you,
Dr. Bechara Choucair; National Vaccinations Coordinator, White House COVID-19 Response Team
VADM Vivek H. Murthy; United States Surgeon General
