MENNO HOME  – COVID VACCINATION

GOOD NEWS! VACCINATIONS WILL BE COMING TO MENNO HOME!
We have learned today that the COVID-19 vaccine will NOT be withheld for residents living in settings that are under outbreak control precautions!
This means ALL of Menno Home!
Residents who should be vaccinated are those who:
  • are asymptomatic at time of vaccination and have tested negative for COVID-19, or
  • have recovered from COVID-19 and are deemed non-infectious
There were many of you who were frustrated and asking about how to advocate for this. We are so excited to tell you that this is the Fraser Health Medical Health Officer’s recommendations for providing COVID-19 vaccine in Long-Term Care/Assisted Living/Independent Living outbreak settings!
Thank you for your prayers, your support, your advocacy!

INDEPENDENT LIVING – COVID VACCINATION

We have learned today that the COVID-19 vaccine WILL be given to the residents in our Independent Living Apartments!

We are asking you to BE READY by doing the following. Once this is done, please let us know that you are ready so that we can immediately book you when the Vaccination Clinic comes to your apartment building.

What you need to do before your appointment:

You will be phoned to notify you of the date, location and time of your appointment. This is all to be determined.

Your appointment should take about 15 – 20 minutes. Please do not go to your appointment if you are feeling unwell, experiencing COVID-19- like symptoms, or if you have been asked to self-isolate.
