Where did you receive your Covid vaccination shot?

[NurseJackie]

124. My sister received her Pfizer shots in a memory-care/nursing home setting.

This particular facility has had 2 residents contract covid. Two employees test positive. Zero "outbreaks" (hot spots) between residents. --- The two residents who got covid were on different floors and different staffs.

I'm very impressed by how they've handled their facility. (I'm disappointed that I haven't been able to visit my sister in over a year... but their prompt and strict actions is very likely the key to their successes.)

In an email that was forwarded to me by my niece, it explains how they've isolated the staffs of each floor to work ONLY on their assigned floor. They do not allow extra shifts on different floors, or schedule swapping with different floors. The dining rooms were closed and all meals are delivered. The activities (sadly) were discontinued, but they still found creative ways to have hallway activities with residents still remaining in their rooms (prior to the vaccine).

I've spoken with my sister on the telephone... and in spite of her dementia, she understands and recalls that something scary is going on with the covid virus. --- She tells me that she's had THREE covid shots.

I asked my niece about this and she explained to me that the "third covid shot" was actually a steroid injection.

I'm very much looking forward to being able to visit my sister again. I hope she still remembers me by the time I get there. Her mind is going quickly. I will ALWAYS HATE TRUMP for denying me this precious time before she fades away.

I guess we're lucky that she's still alive. We should count our blessings.
