Residents at St. Joseph’s Manor in Elliot Lake have rolled up their sleeves for the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine, as the Long-Term Care Home received the vaccine on Wednesday.
Ninety-nine-year-old Julie Trowbridge, the oldest resident at the manor, was among the first to be vaccinated.
Trowbridge says she grew up in Sault Ste. Marie until 1951 when she moved to Spanish with her family adding she has lived through many historical events and for her, “COVID-19 has been the scariest thus far”.
Staggering numbers of COVID-19 deaths and cases have emerged from one Vancouver long-term care home, and it’s not clear why it took so long for the awful details to come out

Greater protection against COVID-19 is coming to Headwaters Health Care Centre (HHCC), since they started sending their staff to Brampton for vaccinations against COVID-19 last Friday.
“The Province has prioritized early doses to those that are most vulnerable. Frontline healthcare workers may be exposed to COVID regularly due to the nature of their work,” noted Danny Williamson, spokesperson for Wellington–Duffering–Guelph (WDG) Public Health.
Rachel Kalas, Registered Nurse at HHCC’s Emergency Department was among the first of the hospitals staff to receive her first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.
She has been part of the frontline response to the pandemic since its onset; caring for patients and families as well as supporting colleagues.
