VANCOUVER It appears a relatively low vaccination rate among employees at a Kelowna care home may not be due to vaccine hesitancy, but may point to other issues with the vaccine rollout in care homes. Thirteen people, including two staff members, have become sick amid an outbreak at the Cottonwoods Care Centre. This week, Interior Health revealed roughly 65 per cent of staff at the care centre had been vaccinated, leaving about 35 per cent of staff unvaccinated, despite the rollout starting at the facility in December. “There are a number of reasons staff may not have received the vaccine,” Karen Bloemink with Interior Health, which runs the care home, told reporters Friday.
