The first dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine has been administered at Fairvern Nursing Home in Huntsville.
The home says the vaccine was given last week to all residents that consented to it. “It was a day filled with many smiles from residents and staff as we were the first long term care home in Muskoka to get the vaccine,” officials with Fairvern said on Facebook.
BARRIE, ONT. The inaugural RVH Spirit of Giving fundraiser saw a community come together with donations piling in from across Simcoe County and Muskoka. The initiative raised an incredible $510,731 for patient care at Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre (RVH) in Barrie. Janice Skot, RVH president and CEO, said she wasn t surprised with the community s generosity. RVH works and provides care in a very generous community, and often when we ask, the community is there for us, she said. The more than half-a million-dollars will support four areas in the hospital, including expanding the neonatal intensive care unit and the intensive care unit, replacing mammography machines and supporting the Simcoe Muskoka regional heart program.
