SUMMARY:COCA Call - Recommendations for Bivalent COVID-19 Booster Doses in People Ages 12 Years and Older
DESCRIPTION:COCA Call – Recommendations for Bivalent COVID-19 Booster Doses in People Ages 12 Years and Older\nVisit the COCA website for a webinar link and more information\n \nA few minutes before the webinar begins\, please click the link below to join:\nhttps://www.zoomgov.com/j/1619923732 \nOverview\nDuring this COCA Call\, presenters will discuss CDC’s new guidance on bivalent COVID-19 booster doses for people ages 12 years and older\, including those who are moderately or severely immunocompromised. COVID-19 vaccination provides protection against serious illness and outcomes associated with COVID-19\, including emergency department or urgent care visits\, hospitalizations\, and death. Updated COVID-19 vaccines add an Omicron BA.4/5 spike protein component to the previous monovalent composition. These bivalent booster doses help restore protection that has waned since previous vaccination by targeting more transmissible and immune-evading variants. These boosters also broaden the spectrum of variants that the immune system is ready to respond to. \n\nCOCA Call Objectives \n\nCite background information on the topic covered during the presentation.\nDiscuss CDC’s role in the topic covered during the presentation.\nDescribe the topic’s implications for clinicians.\nDiscuss concerns and/or issues related to preparedness for and/or response to urgent public health threats.\nPromote health improvement\, wellness\, and disease prevention in cooperation with patients\, communities\, at-risk populations\, and other members of an interprofessional team of healthcare providers.\n\n\nPresenters\nSara Oliver\, MD\, MSPH\nCDR\, U.S. Public Health Service\nLead\, COVID-19 Coordinating Unit\nCOVID-19 Response\nCenters for Disease Control and Prevention \nElisha Hall\, PhD\, RD\nLead\, Clinical Guidelines Vaccine Policy Unit\nCOVID-19 Response\nCenters for Disease Control and Prevention \nEvelyn Twentyman\, MD\, MPH\nLead\, COVID-19 Vaccine Policy Unit\nCOVID-19 Response\nCenters for Disease Control and Prevention \nAnne M.

DESCRIPTION:CDC Clinician Outreach and Communication Activity\nCDC and FDA Update:  Interim Clinical Considerations for Monkeypox Vaccine \nInformation and Zoom information at this link \nOverview\nThe U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued an emergency use authorization (EUA) for the JYNNEOS vaccine. The EUA allows healthcare providers to administer the vaccine by intradermal injection for individuals 18 years of age and older who are at high risk for monkeypox infection\, which will result in up to a five-fold increase in the total number of doses available for use. In addition\, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has released Interim Clinical Considerations for Use of JYNNEOS and ACAM2000 Vaccines during the 2022 U.S. Monkeypox Outbreak that provides guidance for using the alternative (intradermal) regimen\, as well as the standard (subcutaneous) regimen for JYNNEOS vaccine. \nDuring this COCA Call\, presenters from FDA and CDC will provide updates on FDA’s EUA of the JYNNEOS vaccine and CDC’s Interim Clinical Considerations for using the JYNNEOS and ACAM2000 Vaccines during the 2022 U.S. Monkeypox Outbreak.
