Weekly Employee News Update

MARCH 13, 2024

IMPORTANT TRAINING REMINDER

CPR and Safety Care are two vital trainings for our campus. It is an expectation that all required staff are recertified in a timely manner to ensure the safety and well-being of the residents. Failure to stay current in these trainings will result in being held out of service until recertification is complete.

Unsure if you are due for training? Reach out to your Supervisor or Director to check!

BACKGROUND CHECKS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED

We did it!

The annual CANTS background check has been completed for all employees. A big thank you to everyone and a special thank you to all areas that supported their staff with the process.

Many of you were provided with assistance to reset your Misericordia email, we ask that you continue to access your Misericordia email. This is a great way to keep yourself informed.

OLDER ADULTS CAN NOW RECEIVE AN ADDITIONAL DOSE OF UPDATED COVID-19 VACCINE

Courtesy of Chicago Health Alert Network

The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommends that persons ≥ 65 years of age should receive an additional dose of the updated 2023-2024 COVID-19 vaccine. The additional dose is to be administered at least 4 months following the initial dose of the updated 2023–2024 COVID-19 vaccine, which was initially released in Fall of 2023. This recommendation is based on evidence that older adults are at increased risk of severe illness, hospitalization, and death if they get COVID-19, therefore additional protection is warranted.
