Area care home residents getting COVID vaccines Poll Yes By Stan Ashbee and Cole Parkinson Southern Alberta Newspapers According to Green Acres Foundation Housing for Seniors CAO Dawna Coslovi, residents at Piyami Lodge/Piyami Place in Picture Butte and Sunny South Lodge in Coaldale have received COVID-19 vaccinations. Coslovi said it’s very fortunate residents at both sites have received their first roll-out of vaccines, if they wanted it. “And they’ve all received their second dose too.” “We’re very fortunate and we’re really quite happy with that, because it certainly protects the most vulnerable,” Coslovi added. As for staff at the seniors’ homes, Coslovi said, staff have been offered their first dose of the vaccine. “I think they have to make their own appointment. I’m not 100 per cent sure on this, but they will be receiving their second dose within the allotted time frame.”
