COVID-19 Situation Summary 

• CDC Letter to States on COVID-19 Pandemic Vaccination Planning: Update for State and Local Public Health Programs (Aug. 4, 2020) The National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has published an update on COVID-19 Pandemic Vaccination Planning: Update for State and Local Public Health Programs. CDC is working with other federal members of Operation Warp Speed (OWS) to plan and implement a COVID-19 vaccination program as soon as vaccines are available. Thoughtful allocation of COVID-19 vaccine will be critical to prevent morbidity and mortality and reduce the impact of COVID-19 on society. Prioritization of populations to be reached early in the vaccination response when vaccine supply is limited is being considered by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices and the National Academy of Medicine. To better assist in updating and implementing of existing pandemic vaccination plans and assess needs, five selected jurisdictions (North Dakota, Florida, California, Minnesota and Philadelphia) are serving as pilot sites for joint planning missions. The pilot jurisdictions will work with a multi-agency federal team, including staff from CDC and Department of Defense, to plan and prepare for the COVID-19 vaccination response in their specific jurisdictions.
