COVID-19 VACCINATIONS
MENNO PLACE STAFF – 70 staff, doctors, pharmacists were vaccinated in the COVID-19 drop-in clinic today.
MENNO HOME – Units will need to be off of droplet precaution or outbreak in order to have the immunization team come and do the vaccinations.
MENNO HOSPITAL – Completed Dec. 31, 2021
ASSISTED LIVING – TERRACE EAST – Vaccinations with Pfizer-BioNTech completed on Saturday, January 2, 2021
INDEPENDENT LIVING – PRIMROSE GARDENS, TERRACE WEST, PAVILION – We are advocating but do not have any confirmation when Independent Living residents will receive vaccination. On January 4, Dr. Bonnie Henry, Public Health Officer announced that the groups who can expect their first dose of vaccine in February include “community-based” seniors who are at least 80 years of age. This will likely include the Independent Living Apartments: Primrose Gardens, Terrace West, Pavilion.
