COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – There are more indications health care professionals are continuing the transition away from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Personal Health and Disease Prevention Director Kali Nichols reported to the Community Health Agency Board of Health on Thursday that COVID-19 vaccines are starting to streamline a bit with some monovalent products being phased out.
Even though the public health emergency is coming to an end, Nichols said the Food and Drug Administration clarified that it will not terminate the emergency use authorizations for COVID-19 related tests, treatments, or vaccines.
She went on to report their Clinic Supervisory staff will soon resume going back out into assigned counties to conduct Immunization Quality Improvement for Providers along with Vaccines for Children site reviews. This task was also paused due to the pandemic.
With the COVID-19 public health emergency declaration scheduled to end on May 11, 2023, that means Women, Infants and Children waivers will expire this August and Nichols says all of their clients will be offered in-person services by April.
