Answers
Answer:
Thank you for everything you do to protect yourself and our residents from getting COVID-19. As
many of you know, residents of long-term care facilities are among those now being offered COVID-
19 vaccines. Making sure residents receive COVID-19 vaccinations early will help save their lives.
Because many residents have underlying health conditions and live in group settings, they are at
higher risk of infection and severe illness from COVID-19. Our residents matter to us and getting
vaccinated is an important step to prevent them from getting sick with COVID-19 disease.
To offer convenient access to the vaccine, we have partnered with <insert provider name> to
provide on-site COVID-19 vaccinations for residents and staff free of charge. Please watch for
additional information about on-site vaccination clinics in the coming weeks. When a resident
agrees to get vaccinated, or persons appointed to make medical decisions agrees to have a resident
vaccinated, it will be documented in the resident’s medical chart.
