Care home residents have described how getting the Covid jab has given them “confidence” in the future, as the vaccine rollout continues.
It was the turn of 55 elderly and vulnerable residents at Andrew Cohen House in Stirchley, Birmingham, to get the Oxford and AstraZeneca jab on Wednesday.
The facility got less than 24 hours’ notice that its residents were next to get the vaccine, the home’s registered manager Sharon Grey said, adding they had been preparing for two weeks for this day.
She praised her staff who had “pulled together” and been supported by residents and their families, to keep Covid at bay.
