Many senior living communities were expecting to begin Covid vaccinations next week. But they say they haven t gotten any specific information from CVS and Walgreens, who are to provide the vaccine.
Other retirement homes in the midst of an outbreak are being given Covid vaccination dates weeks in the future. They say time is precious and delays could cost lives.
CVS Health Care will begin administering COVID-19 vaccines to approximately 10,200 residents and staff at 75 long-term care facilities in Idaho, beginning Monday.
Lane County Public Health spokesperson Jason Davis sung an optimistic tune at Tuesday s news conference, the last one the county will give before Christmas.
Hundreds of local health care workers began the vaccination process Monday and the county reported no new deaths related to the virus, with only 60 new cases. We are seeing a little bit of hope right before the holidays conclude, Davis said. And hopefully, we ll carry that through the holidays.
Forty-six residents are currently hospitalized for COVID-19, nine of whom are in intensive care. Lane County remains in the extreme risk category, and will stay there until at least Jan. 1, when county risk levels are reassigned.
