COVID-19 Immunization Clinics LT-3400.1525 Programs that provide inoculations that help prevent individuals from contracting the COVID-19 virus, either to the general public or targeting critical workforce personnel and/or higher-risk priority groups. The clinics may be walk-in sites (pharmacies, churches, community centers, outdoor tents) or locations in areas with curbside or drive-through options. Most sites require physical distancing, use of personal protective equipment (PPE), and enhanced sanitation efforts. Most of the vaccines are administered as two shots given with a needle, usually in the arm and separated by a period of weeks. The official document for verifying receipt of a COVID-19 immunization in the U.S. is a small, white vaccination record card issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which is given to recipients after their first or single shot. The vaccination card serves as a personal immunization record which identifies the vaccine they received, its lot number, the date and the vaccination site as well as a reminder, if applicable, of when their next dose is due. The card is updated with details about a second shot after that is provided. 19
COVID-19 Immunization Home Visits LT-3400.1530 Programs that provide home visits to ensure that designated groups of people have access to the COVID-19 vaccine. The primary focus is on those who are unable to leave their homes without the help of others or medical equipment (such as crutches, a walker, or a wheelchair) or who have been instructed not to leave home due to concerns about their health or illness, but others who have been given priority may also be eligible. After assessment and screening for possible contraindications (even if it is the second dose) and prior to vaccination, the recipient and/or their caregiver receives an EUA (emergency use authorization) fact sheet and the opportunity to ask any questions or discuss concerns, before their informed consent is documented and the vaccine they received is recorded. The vaccine provider should stay with the person for 15 minutes following the injection, or 30 if they have a history of allergic reactions. Adverse reactions to the drug are reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) as required. 1

Pre-screening is done using an online questionnaire that is reviewed by a health care provider. The individual then uses the enclosed nasal and/or throat swab, packs the sample(s) up and ships them to the designated laboratory for analysis. (Some kits may instead require a blood sample collected by finger pricking, or other approved methods of sampling.) Results are generally available online within 24-48 hours. If the test shows positive results, the program may offer a telehealth consult to guide the individual through any next steps. The test is recommended for individuals age 18 and older who have been in close contact with someone who has become ill, or who may have been exposed to COVID-19 by living, working or gathering in close proximity to others. The test is also recommended for people who show symptoms of the virus (elevated temperature, flu-like symptoms, loss of taste or smell, worsening cough or sore throat, or shortness of breath). The tests are not intended to be a substitute for those seeking or needing professional diagnosis, treatment or medical advice, and may or may not be authorized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. 1

Current clinical management of COVID-19 consists of infection prevention and control measures and supportive care, including supplemental oxygen and mechanical ventilatory support when indicated. The FDA has approved one drug, remdesivir (Veklury), for the treatment of COVID-19 in certain situations, and a number of novel therapeutics (e.g., monoclonal antibodies) are available under EUA for early outpatient treatment. 1
COVID-19 Vaccination Card Replacement LT-3400.1590 The official document for verifying receipt of a COVID-19 immunization in the U.S. is a small, white vaccination record card issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which people receive after their first shot. The vaccination cards serve as a personal immunization record of which vaccine they received, its lot number, the date and the vaccination site as well as a reminder, if applicable, of when their next dose is due. The card is updated with details about the second shot after it is provided. It is recommended that people take a photo of the card and keep it in a safe place and are warned not to post the photo on social media due to the personal information that it contains. It is also recommended that people who lose their card first go back to the immunization site and ask for a replacement and, if they have received their second shot at a different location, return there to ask for a replacement card. All vaccinations are recorded in an individual's electronic medical record that is linked to the state's vaccination registry so a backup copy is always available through the individual's state health department. 1

In central sleep apnea, the airway is not blocked but the brain fails to signal the muscles to breathe. The air pressure from the CPAP machine forces the air passage open, reducing or eliminating these problems. Also included are programs that provide other types of Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) machines, e.g., APAP also known as AutoPAP (Automatic Positive Airway Pressure) machines, VPAP or BiPAP (Variable/Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure) machines and xPAP ST (Spontaneous Time) machines which regulate the level of airway pressure in different ways.
