Friday Five – COVID Update

Nov 19, 2021 | Posted by Annmarie Budniak | HIT Feed, News |
COVID by the Numbers

From reported cases, recovered cases, deaths, vaccine progress, doses administered, to fully vaccinated regions, COVID-19 data changes quickly and frequently. How many cases are worldwide compared to in the United States? How many approved vaccines are there and how is my state doing when it comes to fully vaccinated the population? For the most up-to-date numbers in any region and around the world the COVID-19 Tracker gets its information from both the CDC, the WHO, and more. Additionally, refer to the WHO COVID19 Dashboard for the latest COVID-19 numbers.

Who is Eligible

Everyone ages 5 years and older is eligible for a free #COVID19 vaccine. Find one for you or your kids today:

The Incrementalist: November News You Can Use – Booster Update, Long COVID and more

Host Dr. Nick van Terheyden, aka Dr. Nick, is joined by Dr. Craig Joseph for this month’s News. Topics cover who should boost, the CDC guidelines and concerns on not getting one, breaking down the news by vaccine. Also included is long COVID. To end, a discussion on Micky Tripathi at HLTH on “minimum viable compliance.”

These 2 Covid pills could be available soon — and they might help end the pandemic. Here’s how

According to CNBC, two new Covid pills are almost here — and they could be potential game-changers for ending the pandemic. Pfizer applied for approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for its Paxlovid pill, meant to treat patients who are sick with Covid. Fellow drugmaker Merck asked the FDA to grant emergency authorization for its Covid pill, called molnupiravir, last month.

AMA CPT Codes Updates

CPT Update to COVID-19 Vaccine Booster
The AMA announced that the Current Procedural Terminology (CPT®) code set has been updated by the CPT Editorial Panel to include a new code for booster doses of COVID-19 vaccine created by Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson & Johnson.

CPT Update for Pediatric COVID-19 Vaccine Candidate
The AMA announced that the Current Procedural Terminology (CPT®) code set has been updated by the CPT Editorial Panel to include vaccine and administration codes for pediatric doses of the COVID-19 vaccine developed by Pfizer.

Update to COVID-19 Vaccine CPT Codes
The AMA announced that the Current Procedural Terminology (CPT®) code set has been updated by the CPT Editorial Panel to include vaccine and administration codes that are unique to a new formulation of the COVID-19 vaccine developed by Pfizer. The new formulation is based on a tris-sucrose buffer rather than the phosphate buffer present in the original formulation.
