Vaccine Distribution Concerns 9:12 pm
As the distribution of the COVID-19 Vaccines continues across the Country, some Nursing Home and Care Facilities in our region say they’re still waiting on guidance. We spoke with one Personal Care Facility Owner who is speaking out about the plan thus far.
The Coronavirus Vaccine is being distributed to Nursing Homes and Care Centers across the region, with CVS and Wallgreens coordinating shipments. However, the Owner of Wynwood House Personal Care Homes says he hasn’t received a call. Vincent Romanini, Owner/Administrator of Wynwood House Personal Care Homes says he has not been contacted regarding a vaccine shipment. He wants some transparency and to know there is a plan, but says as of now: “We know nothing.”
