It’s a two-barrelled vaccine rollout in Arnprior as both Grove residents, staff and physicians line up for their shots.
Over the weekend, second doses of Moderna vaccine were administered to residents and on Monday, it was a Pfizer shot in the arm for Hospital and Grove staff and physicians, and Grove designated/essential caregivers.
Judith Gilchrist, VP, Long-Term Care, ARH says, “Our team has done an exceptional job planning and organizing the logistics to ensure there is no delay in delivering vaccine to residents, staff and caregivers.”
Immunization provides a significant protection against COVID-19; however, in line with public health guidance, ARH’s existing safety measures will need to remain in place for the foreseeable future, including active screening, visitor restrictions, proper use of personal protective equipment and regular surveillance testing of staff and designated caregivers.
The ARH vaccine clinics will continue over the next few weeks.
The Hospital and Grove staff, physicians and designated/essential caregivers will receive their second dose of vaccine within the recommended timeline.
