If not discussed in this slide set, please speak on vaccinated individuals whom are "breakthrough" cases and when they can receive a "booster" dose. Thank you!

Hello, I wanted to make sure my email was on the list server, my email is: ba5752@wayne.edu

01:17:03
can we draw up all the doses in the gray cap at the same time and leave them at room temp ?

01:17:09
@Gordon Satoh, thank you for this comment. We are not discussing breakthrough cases in this presentation but we will send a follow up to your comment in our follow up email that we send out. For now, if a person has had COVID-19 breakthrough infection after receiving their primary series they can receive a booster dose 6 months after their primary series was completed and ensure vaccination is deferred until person has recovered from the acute illness and criteria have been met for them to discontinue isolation. (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/disposition-in-home-patients.html). This information can be found in the clinical considerations: https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19/clinical-considerations/covid-19-vaccines-us.html#vaccinating-exposure . We will send a follow up regarding this with all the resources to give further detail in our follow up email that will be sent. Thank you.

@Daniela--thank you and we will note this :)

01:18:03
Thank you.

01:18:08
Is there any way to get more diluent (we have misplaced some)?

01:19:35
@amber--this is a great question and based on CDC previous guidance doses have been able to be stored in a syringe for a period of time. HOWEVER, we do not have all the detail yet from CDC and will verify the specifics on this for you and be sure to share that as soon as we know.

May I get the slides NIBC1112@aol.com

01:21:36
Yes please!

Heidi and Andrea... my concern about pre-drawing doses of COVID-19 vaccine... vaccinators need to see the patient before they choose a 1" needle or a 1.5" needle... if they do not wait to see the patient, they will be tempted to use a 1" needle even when the patient is large and has a lot of subcutaneous tissue over the muscle...

01:24:06
Please send the website with the upcoming email

01:25:15
the supplies we have been getting from the OCHD have been with syringes that we cant change the needle on.

01:26:09
Is it also mentioned that one must be careful not to compress the deltoid muscle (raising the subcutaneous tissues) but just support the deltoid muscle?

01:29:22
Same to you ladies!

01:29:25
Thanks, Ladies! Happy Holidays!
