  • COVID-19 Vaccination Clinics Offer Hope to Long Term Care Staff and Residents
December 31, 2020

Amidst celebratory backdrops, on December 28th more than 30 nursing facilities in Massachusetts began vaccinating residents and staff with the COVID-19 vaccine, offering a sign of hope to facilities that have courageously battled this insidious virus over the past 10 months. “Today marks a critical and hopeful milestone in our fight against Covid-19 with the first wave of vaccines being distributed in nursing facilities across the Commonwealth,” said Tara M. Gregorio, Mass Senior Care Association President.

Widespread media coverage of the vaccination rollout at nursing facilities this week portrayed both staff and residents as joyful and relieved to see light at the end of this dark tunnel.  Mass Senior Care will continue to monitor the vaccine roll out closely to ensure that the safety and well-being of our residents and their caregivers are appropriately prioritized.
