Multi-Society Statement on Health Care Worker Vaccination Against COVID-19

Fifty-seven medical societies recently released a joint statement calling upon health systems and long-term care facilities to require vaccination against COVID-19 as a condition of employment (with limited exemptions). Despite prioritized access, a substantial proportion of health care workers have opted not to receive vaccination. This poses a threat to patients with cardiovascular disease. High-quality cardiovascular care requires teams of clinicians and support personnel, with each individual bringing their best effort to fulfill their unique role. Unvaccinated staff are more likely to become infected, infect others or require quarantining after exposure, all of which can adversely impact cardiovascular care teams.

While worker autonomy is a critical priority, it cannot risk compromising the quality of care and jeopardizing patients' health. Given the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines, many health care organizations have already created plans to incorporate COVID vaccine requirements into their long-standing employee vaccination policies. The very high transmissibility of COVID variants will lead many others to follow this lead.

Matching Gift Opportunity: Double Your Impact on COVID-19 Relief Efforts

ACC's Americares Campaign to help front-line COVID-19 relief efforts around the world just got an additional boost thanks to a generous matching gift of up to $25,000 from the J.F. Maddox Foundation, as designated by ACC Board of Trustees Member Thomas M. Maddox, MD, FACC.

The ACC launched its Americares Campaign with a $25,000 seed gift earlier this year. Since then, more than $30,000 has been raised towards Americares' Resilience and India funds, both of which provide direct support in the form of medicine and supplies to health care providers on the front lines battling COVID-19.

With numbers once again on the rise in the U.S. and around the world, this matching gift opportunity comes at a vital time. Tax deductible contributions can be made here and will be matched up to $25,000 between now and Oct. 1.

In addition to making your own gift, ACC leaders are also asked to share this opportunity on social media and among your own Chapter, Section and Committee members.

Learn more and helps us reach our next $50,000 COVID-19 relief goal by Oct. 1 at Americares.org/ACC.

JACC: Case Reports Call for Submissions: Long COVID Cardiac Cases

JACC: Case Reports

JACC: Case Reports is inviting submissions for a 2022 special themed issue on long COVID cardiac cases. Papers in the form of clinical cases, clinical case series and clinical vignettes will be accepted. Other formats will be considered if sufficiently rigorous and impactful.

Clinicians and cardiovascular care team members new to case reports submissions are invited to review frequently asked questions about publishing and the How to Write a Case Report video on the Journal's About page. Submissions must be made through the journal's submission site, JACCSubmit-CaseReports.org, by Monday, June 27. Learn more.
