The team is made up of Maria Xuereb, nursing manager; Matthew Vassallo, lead nurse at Casa San Paolo; Zvetlana Farrugia, facility manager at Casa San Paolo; Noel Borg, the group’s senior nursing manager; Maria Cekic, lead nurse at Casa Arkati; Paul Sceberras, mental health services manager; and Asha Kirar, a nurse at the Żejtun Home.
The team of professionals is working in close collaboration with the Active Ageing and Community Care and the Social Care Standards Authority, ensuring that all the necessary precautionary measures and guidelines are followed and that residents from all facilities who gave their consent to receiving the vaccine are administered the two doses.
