On behalf of the White House COVID-19 Response Team and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, I am pleased to invite you to a virtual conversation on Increasing COVID-19 Vaccination Rates in the Medicaid Community. The event is on Monday, November 8, from 3:00 – 4:00 PM ET.
Nationwide, Medicaid vaccination rates lag behind that of the general population. In line with our shared goal of continuing to protect the most vulnerable among us, it is critical that we all prioritize improving vaccine uptake in this population. To that end, this event will highlight the innovative approaches different states and Medicaid plans are implementing to increase vaccinations in the Medicaid community. Attendees will hear from state Medicaid Directors and health plan leaders across the country on these best practices. The event will also cover federal policy changes and strategies CMS recommends states and plans act on to boost Medicaid vaccination rates.
Please see information for how to join the event below. We look forward to seeing you there.
Thank you,
Dr. Bechara Choucair; National Vaccinations Coordinator, White House COVID-19 Response Team

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has published several studies characterizing antibiotic prescribing during the COVID-19 pandemic in outpatient, nursing home, and hospital settings. Findings from these studies and others inform opportunities to improve antibiotic use and guide the development of resources to support healthcare professionals and health systems. Case studies representing common clinical scenarios will be discussed to support decisions related to antibiotic prescribing.
During this COCA Call, clinicians, pharmacists, and public health partners will learn about the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on antibiotic prescribing and strategies for optimizing antibiotic prescribing.

Dear Tribal Leader:
On behalf of the Department of the Treasury, the Department of the Interior, and White House, we are writing to invite you to attend a Tribal Leader update on our collective efforts to disburse American Rescue Plan Act Tribal funding on Friday, November 19, 2021, at 11 AM EDT.
The American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) provided Tribal nations with over $30 billion in direct set asides for Indian Country’s relief and recovery from this pandemic. The Department of the Interior received $1.75 billion to support American Indian and Alaska Native government programs administered under the oversight of the Department of the Interior’s Assistant Secretary – Indian Affairs. The Department of the Treasury received approximately $21.6 billion in direct Tribal set asides across five programs. In response to Tribal leader feedback in our numerous consultations, our departments utilized self-certified Tribal enrollment in our respective allocations and engaged in a historic partnership to obtain this information in less than two months.
Eight months after the passage of ARPA and on the eve of further historic investments in Tribal communities, we look forward to updating Tribal leaders on the status of our departments’ Tribal recovery funds and our future engagements in support of Tribal nations’ public health and economic recovery. Tribal nations have been critical to our nation’s efforts to confront this pandemic and we thank you for your leadership and partnership with our departments during this crisis.
Register: https://ustreasury.zoomgov.com/meeting/register/vJIsdysqjsrE_WcRKdVDzu_XRHduhoqVY4
We hope that you will be able to join us for this important discussion and value your participation.
Sincerely,
U.S. Department of the Treasury
U.S. Department of the Interior
