Jewish Home Vaccination Deployment
As part of NYSDOH’s Phase 1A, on Tuesday, January 12, Menorah Park with HealthDirect pharmacy, will administer the second vaccine to nursing home residents and staff with the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine.
The Inn Vaccination Deployment
We are rapidly preparing for the deployment of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine and our pharmacy partner, Walgreens, will be supporting us in managing this through three, on-site vaccination clinics. Clinics will begin on Thursday, January 21. The vaccines will be administered by trained, licensed professionals (including pharmacists) from Walgreens. Over the next week, we will be working to secure residents’ consent, either from the residents themselves or through the appropriate primary contact
At this time the COVID -19vaccine IS NOT required nor is it mandated. However, we are strongly uring both residents and staff to get vaccinated.
