COVID UPDATE – VACCINATION – GOOD NEWS UPDATE – JANUARY 6, 2021 – Menno Place Team

MENNO HOME – COVID VACCINATION

GOOD NEWS! VACCINATIONS WILL BE COMING TO MENNO HOME!

We have learned today that the COVID-19 vaccine will NOT be withheld for residents living in settings that are under outbreak control precautions!

This means ALL of Menno Home!

Residents who should be vaccinated are those who:

are asymptomatic at time of vaccination and have tested negative for COVID-19, or
have recovered from COVID-19 and are deemed non-infectious

There were many of you who were frustrated and asking about how to advocate for this. We are so excited to tell you that this is the Fraser Health Medical Health Officer’s recommendations for providing COVID-19 vaccine in Long-Term Care/Assisted Living/Independent Living outbreak settings!

Thank you for your prayers, your support, your advocacy!
