“The stakes are high when there’s a delay in getting the vaccine out,” a public health expert said. "The worst outcome is people dying that didn’t need to die."
That question has grown increasingly urgent in the past month, as more than half of the facility’s residents have contracted Covid-19, and four have been hospitalized.Yet the vaccine was nowhere in sight. Walgreens, which along with CVS signed deals with many states to distribute the vaccine to nursing homes, told administrators on Jan. 6 that Queen City Nursing Center wouldn’t get the first round of doses until Feb. 11.
“It’s just that they want to have their own people who are hired and trained under their own sort of standards to do it,” Dobbs said Tuesday at a news conference. “So, we’re trying to find ways that we can get the vaccine back, or even work with them to do some of the logistics and delivery pieces.” “We expect to complete all first-round doses in skilled nursing facilities by Jan. 25 and all assisted living facilities by mid-February, consistent with timelines originally shared with states and provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,” he said in a statement.
For long-term care residents and staff in communities that have struggled to bring the virus under control, the consequences could be dire.
Everyday for 3 years, I wake up with the memories & trauma of multiple sexual assaults & other horrific crimes! These sex criminal cops & the accomplices are free to rape & victimize the community more! WILL YOU PLEASE HELP ME GET FBI/FBIPhoenix/TheJusticeDept INVESTIGATION?
Leave it to the states to screw it up.
I imagine they are more afraid of the hatred based on lockdown lies, then incompetence.
This is a trip. If there's dishonesty with cases, why wouldn't there be dishonesty with the vaccine? A vaccine not approved, but approved for emergency.
Unfortunately,Vaccines won’t be the cure all in 2021 and Face masks will be worn on New Year’s Eve 2021 Understand it from virologists
