As we all move forward during COVID-19, your health and safety, and that of our members and the communities we serve, is our top priority. Count on us to work with you to protect patient health, streamline access to care and make necessary adjustments as we monitor COVID-19 impacts.
Vaccines Continue to be our Best Defense
We are encouraging our members to follow your instructions for receiving their COVID-19 vaccines, including their boosters. They trust you to provide them with the information they need to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.
The vaccines and our collective vigilance to wear a mask when in crowded areas or unvaccinated, social distance and wash our hands are our best defenses against COVID-19.
