Colleagues,
Thank you again for your partnership over the past months to work towards our shared goals on the national vaccination effort. It has been a pleasure to work together to expand vaccine access, confidence, and equity.
On behalf of the White House COVID-19 Response Team and the U.S. Surgeon General, I am pleased to invite you and your health department to a virtual town hall on Primary Care Providers, Health Systems, and the Next Phase of the Vaccination Rollout. The event is on Friday, June 11, from 3:00 – 4:00 PM ET.
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.
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 myself.
Thank you,
Dr. Bechara Choucair; National Vaccinations Coordinator, White House COVID-19 Response Team
