(WLFI) — Officials are hopeful on-site vaccinations beginning next month will stop the toll of COVID-19 at long-term care facilities. The effort comes just in time as deaths among nursing home residents continue to trend upward in Tippecanoe County. Deaths nearly tripled in December from ten to at least 29, accounting for more than a fourth of all 80 COVID-19 deaths in Tippecanoe County.
Some may have to wait a couple weeks to get underway. Author: Alex Fees (KSDK) Updated: 7:43 PM CST December 29, 2020 ST. LOUIS COUNTY, Mo. — CVS and Walgreens are the two distributors for the COVID-19 vaccine for Missouri nursing homes. Long-term care facilities in the state are in various stages of deploying the vaccination shots with staff from one of those two pharmacy chains. CVS officials said they have partnered with nearly 600 Missouri skilled nursing and assisted living facilities to administer the vaccine. “When CVS partnered with the CDC to be able to do this initiative, the skilled nursing facilities had their choice — CVS or Walgreens — in order to administer," CVS District Leader Dr. Sarah Edington said. "Once they made that choice, CVS and the facilities started scheduling, with the release of the vaccine and the start date, based on the activation date. For Missouri that was Dec. 28.”
