Dear Residents, Staff and Families,
As of today, we have no known active COVID-19 cases in any of our communities.
We can’t emphasize enough that now is the time to exercise extreme caution. We are so close to having a vaccine distributed to all of our staff and residents – so continue with your extreme vigilance and caution as we head into the next round of holidays.
Vaccine Updates:
- Walgreens has not set a date for our community vaccination clinics yet. We will send out information as soon as we receive any news. We have a point of contact with Walgreen’s and understand that they are rolling their first few assisted living clinics out in Washington today.
-
Bainbridge Prepares and the City of Bainbridge Island have teamed up with Bainbridge Island Community Pharmacy to vaccinate as many category 1A eligible folks as they have vaccine for. The pharmacy received a shipment of Moderna vaccine today and over the next few days this collaborative group will be working to administer the vaccine to local frontline workers and first responders. They have offered to vaccinate all of our willing and eligible staff in the next few days. We are over the moon excited!!! The first staff vaccinations will begin tomorrow!
- A few Kitsap County facilities received their first shipments of Pfizer vaccine on Monday. These are not large shipments but it is the just beginning with a lot more to come. From the variety of webinars I have listened to – the big ask is to mobilize qualified staff to actually give the vaccines and monitor vaccine recipients.
We have received several links to important information regarding vaccination and mental health tips for the holiday season.
Thank you again for your continued trust and support. Keep wearing those masks, stay vigilant with your best practices and enjoy your quiet holiday festivities.
With Gratitude,
