Before they can get the vaccine, the residents need to sign consent forms. Nursing homes have had weeks to prepare for this but it’s proving to be harder than they thought.
“It’s an ongoing process, and it’s happening right now,” said Stephen Hanse, president and CEO of New York State Health Facilities Association, an organization representing the state’s hundreds of nursing facilities.
“This is the end of the tunnel, it really is,” he said.
According to Hanse, the federal government is using pharmacies like Walgreens and CVS to distribute the vaccine. That way the already over-worked nursing home staff can see to their other duties in the meantime.
