Wisconsin Rolling Out Vaccines at Assisted Living Facilities

Good.

MADISON (WKOW) — Residents and workers at Wisconsin long-term care facilities are expected to start getting coronavirus vaccines on Monday.

CVS Health started giving out the vaccine at facilities in 12 states last week and will expand in 36 more states, including Wisconsin.

Walgreens is also using some of Wisconsin’s allotment as part of the program to vaccinate people at skilled nursing and assisted living facilities.

“It is our hope, indeed our expectation, that everyone who is offered the vaccine will take the vaccine,” Rick Abrams said on the UPFRONT program on WKOW this Sunday.

Abrams, who is president of the Wisconsin Health Care Association and the Wisconsin Center for Assisted Living, said he expects COVID-19 vaccinations in those facilities would be finished by March.

One of the most painful parts of this whole thing has been the detrimental impact on our elderly and their families. They are living and dying alone. It’s tragic. The faster we can reopen those facilities for families to visit, the better.

    Meanwhile, Kamala Harris got the vaccine today.
    I am sure the sociopath is just livid about this.
    Just as he was livid that Vice President Pence got the vaccine.

    I keep hearing about how WI will soon get the vaccine. A few of my cousins are assisted living workers and when we had our Christmas Day phone pass around she mentioned that she and Kim got it last week, as in the week of 12/13-12/20. I don’t know what to make of it that they are under reporting the rate at which the people are being vaccinated.
