The End of COVID-19 Public Health Emergency: What You Need to Know.

The federal COVID-19 Public Health Emergency is set to end on May 11, which means the CDC will have less authority to collect certain types of public health data. City mobile testing sites will no longer be available, but vaccination, testing, and treatment will still be available by appointment at NYC Health + Hospitals locations. Access to COVID-19 vaccinations and certain treatments will not be impacted, but payment, coverage, and access may be affected once the federal government stops purchasing or distributing vaccines and treatments. Some COVID-19 data reporting and surveillance will change, and the FDA will have limited ability to detect shortages of essential medical product shortages.
