COVID-19 vaccine rollout painfully slow to nursing homes and other long-term care facilities [Los Angeles Times]
No group has suffered more during the COVID-19 pandemic than staff and residents of nursing homes, where high concentrations of elderly people with serious health problems created the perfect killing ground for the virus.
Still, the effort to vaccinate people in those homes is rolling out at a frustratingly slow pace, according to experts nationwide.
As of Friday, only about 17% of the more than 4 million vaccine doses distributed to long-term care facilities had been injected, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
