The revised All Facility Letter (AFL 21-28.3) includes an update on the February 18, 2022 Public Health Order, which requires healthcare personnel (HCP) to be up to date with vaccinations and receive boosters by March 1, 2022, unless exempt. The revision allows HCP who have completed their primary vaccination series and provide proof of subsequent COVID-19 infection to defer booster administration for up to 90 days from the date of clinical diagnosis or first positive test, potentially extending the booster dose requirement beyond March 1st. The revised letter also emphasizes the strong recommendation for all HCP in skilled nursing facilities to undergo at least twice-weekly screening testing, regardless of their vaccination status.
