Same as Amy. We have had a few requests for boosters but are waiting for clear guidance. Also looking for guidance about updated communication on breakthrough cases and messaging around vaccine efficacy/public confidence.
One question I have is how we are defining “fully vaccinated”. Is it through self-attestation, confirmation via vaccination passport, etc.? I don’t know if that was clearly defined in the recent MMWR article.

We are not giving third doses to HCP at this time, but are aware that some obtain them at local pharmacies.

Wondering if any other medical centers are having providers show up with prescriptions from their personal physicians/providers requesting that they be given a third dose of COVID vaccine. This has happened a few times this week at our facilities. If you have experienced this, how have you handled it?
