From our friends at City of Philadelphia:

The City of Philadelphia wants to hear from you about your housing and neighborhood. We also want to know what happened the last time you looked for housing. Your answers will help shape our housing and neighborhood investment plans.

The last time we distributed this survey was in 2016. The results from that survey were used to inform housing programs and improvements to public spaces. Your input will help us continue and expand these programs, and develop new programs in the future.

This survey takes about 10-20 minutes to complete. Your answers are confidential. At the end of the survey, we ask for your zip code so we can group answers together based on area of the city.

Thank you for supporting the City’s housing and community development work!

A new CDC study among adults found that while protection from getting a third dose of an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine (Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna) decreased with time during Delta and Omicron, a third dose continues to offer high levels of protection against severe illness with COVID-19.

These findings show why it’s important to stay up to date with recommended COVID-19 vaccination, including getting a booster shot when eligible. CDC is continuing to closely monitor the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines to help inform public health efforts. Learn more: bit.ly/MMWR7107e2

Adults who were up to date on their COVID-19 vaccinations had 5 times the protection against infection compared with adults who weren’t vaccinated when the Omicron variant first began spreading in the United States.

Everyone ages 5 years and older should get up to date on their COVID-19 vaccines, including a booster dose for everyone 12 years and older when eligible.
