Information for Persons Who Are Immunocompromised Regarding Prevention and Treatment of SARS-CoV-2 Infection in the Context of Currently Circulating Omicron Sublineages — United States, January 2023

This figure is a graphic explaining the prevention measures that people who have a weakened immune system or live with someone who does can take. The title states, “If you have a weakened immune system or live with someone who does, create a COVID-19 action plan.” The graphic includes six boxes that describes prevention measures, “Get an updated COVID-19 vaccine. Improve ventilation and spend time outdoors when possible. Learn about testing locations and treatment options before getting exposed or sick. Get tested if you’ve been exposed or have symptoms. Wash your hands often. Wear a well-fitting respirator or mask and maintain distance in crowded spaces.”

The figure is a photo of an elderly person and a health care provider with a blue background overlay and text that reads, “COVID-19 weekly case rates were up to 50% higher in nursing home residents not up to date with COVID-19 vaccines.”
