Urgent Care’s Voice Must Be Heard on COVID-19 Vaccination Issues—so Raise Yours

Urgent care was overlooked by public health entities at the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic—but the College of Urgent Care Medicine and the Urgent Care Association are fighting to ensure that never happens again. That’s of critical importance as cases continue to rise in various parts of the country and the vaccine continues to roll out. Most recently, UCA got in touch with every state vaccination administrator and/or governor’s public health advisor to advocate on behalf of the industry. Their efforts are significant and should be appreciated, but they would be even more effective if you added your voice to the chorus. UCA has compiled a list of every state contact to make doing so as easy as possible. Time is of the essence, as numerous state vaccination coordinators have complained that distribution from the federal government to state health departments has been slow.
