You asked:

Is an employee who has received two doses of their primary series vaccine but is not yet eligible for the booster considered up-to-date, or does the employee have to be routinely tested according to the routine testing schedule outlined in the CMS QSO-20-38-NH memo? 

We answered:

This employee is considered up-to-date. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) notes that an individual is up to date on the COVID-19 vaccines when they receive all doses in the primary series and one booster, when eligible. In addition, getting a second booster is not necessary to be considered up to date at this time. LeadingAge Ohio encourages members to continue to submit questions to COVID19@leadingageohio.org.
