AHCA/NCAL Requested Vaccine Priority From National Governors Association

The American Health Care Association and National Center for Assisted Living (AHCA/NCAL) sent a letter to the National Governors Association (NGA) and state governors urging them to prioritize COVID-19 vaccine distribution to all long term care communities.

“Given that long term care facilities care for our most vulnerable when it comes to this virus and employ hundreds of thousands of essential health care workers, we urge that your plans to the CDC make residents and staff of these settings the highest priority for the vaccine.”
