“I think the indication would be the first shot across the system would be done within a week across the entire system,” Barrett said.
The focus now is getting written consent from 23,000 nursing home residents and as many staff members ahead of the rollout.
“It’s a massive undertaking but we think we can get it done,” Barrett said.
“Right now, the plan calls for a CVS team to come to the building and administer the vaccine with the assistance of our team,” Tim Brown with Athena Healthcare Systems said.
Brown said he expects consent forms to be provided by CVS Health in the next two to three days. At least one of Athena’s facilities is set to see the vaccine as early as Dec. 22.
