Vaccine brings new hope to Wisconsin long-term care facilities
A new report shows COVID-19 cases in nursing homes across the country have decreased 82 percent since December 20th, 2020
MILWAUKEE - New data point to a dramatic decrease in the number of COVID-19 cases and deaths at long-term care facilities.
Residents and staff were among the first groups to begin receiving the COVID-19 vaccine in Wisconsin. Officials say 155,000 shots have now been administered at facilities in the state.
The group, which includes both skilled nursing and assisted living homes, makes up about 1% of the national population but accounts for 30% of coronavirus-related deaths.
A pharmacist who took on the challenge of overseeing the vaccinations of literally thousands of seniors at hundreds of long-term care facilities persevered, even after losing her own grandparents to COVID-19.
