Nursing homes throughout Western New York are beginning to vaccinate residents and workers against Covid-19, which has has killed more than 6,000 residents of nursing homes across the state.
Pharmacists from Walgreens gave shots to 150 residents who consented at Northgate Health Care Facility in Wheatfield and to about 100 workers on Tuesday, said Dawn Harsch, a spokeswoman for the McGuire Group chain of nursing homes. So far there has been more than a 90% acceptance rate for residents, Harsch said.
The Wheatfield facility was among the first to give the shots in the region this week as nursing homes roll out the vaccine over time. Six other McGuire Group nursing homes will administer vaccinations in future weeks.Â
At least 83 nursing home residents with Covid-19 died across New York State during the week ending Nov. 29, including 21 people in Western New York.
Those fatalities at 38 nursing homes show that the second wave of the virus is again taking a heavy toll on the vulnerable residents of long-term care facilities.
In Western New York, GreenField Health & Rehabilitation Center in Lancaster had five Covid-19 deaths during that week, tied for the third highest among the more than 600 nursing homes in New York, according to data provided by the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz has pointed out that the countyâs increasing number of Covid-19 deaths in November is partially due to fatalities at nursing homes and assisted living sites.
