Dear Health Care Provider, Thank you for being a trusted partner of both the Pennsylvania Department of Health (DOH) and the Department of Human Services (DHS). We have immense gratitude for health care providers across the state who have worked to educate and vaccinate as many patients as possible. We have fully protected more than 70% of our state’s population from COVID-19, leading Pennsylvania to be one of the top states for vaccinations. However, millions of Pennsylvanians, both adults and children, are still not protected by these lifesaving vaccines. It is essential that we get more people vaccinated and ultimately protected. The last few miles of our journey to vaccinate as many people as quickly and equitably as possible will likely look different. We are asking for your help as a trusted source of health advice, counsel, and care as we go forward. To continue our efforts we are asking you help SEEK, ASK, VACCINATE, and EMPOWER (SAVE) your patients or customers. SEEK: Seek your patients’ COVID-19 vaccination status. ASK/EDUCATE: If your patient isn't vaccinated, ask them about the vaccine and offer education if they’re unsure. To help, order free materials to educate your patients about COVID-19 from PA Unites Against COVID-19 here: https://www.pa.gov/covid/covid-resources-order-form/. VACCINATE: If your patient agrees to vaccination, provide them with a COVID-19 vaccine or a referral to a location that provides COVID-19 vaccination: https://www.vaccines.gov/search/ EMPOWER: Empower your patients to share their vaccination status with the community. PA DOH and DHS are committed to working with our provider partners to combat the continued COVID-19 pandemic, and have identified the following z-code for vaccine counseling that does not result in a vaccination: Z28.20 – Immunization not carried out because of patient decision for unspecified reason This new code will allow us to follow vaccine counseling visits, and take more steps to vaccinate Pennsylvanians. Thank you for your ongoing collaboration. Together, we can stop the spread. Sincerely,
