Front-line workers, including registered nurses, who would be responding to the COVID-19 pandemic were among those identified in the Phase 1 of the province's vaccine rollout. But a lack of vaccine supply means some still have not been inoculated.
Space is being cleared in at least one long-term care home in St. John's to make way for a dedicated COVID-19 unit, while front-line staff await word on when more of them will be receiving vaccinations, says the union representing the province's nurses.
Some residents at Pleasantview Towers have been moved in an effort to prepare for long-term care residents who may develop symptoms of the virus and require a dedicated unit for care, says Yvette Coffey, president of the Registered Nurses' Union of Newfoundland and Labrador.
