A Goal That Will Stick
Last updated Jan. 24, 2023
Staying up to date with recommended COVID-19 vaccines and boosters is an important way to protect ourselves and those around us.
You are likely already talking with staff, residents and families about COVID-19 vaccines, bivalent boosters and providing current information and answering questions. To support your efforts, we have put together a collection of resources you can use, depending on your needs, to help residents and staff set “A Goal That Will Stick” to get up to date with their COVID-19 vaccines and have a healthy year.
