We are pleased that federal and state officials have prioritized long-term care residents and their caregivers for early COVID-19 vaccinations. Getting vaccinated against COVID-19 is one of the best ways to protect those living in and receiving care in our communities. The news of a vaccine gives us hope for the next chapter in our fight against this virus.
Ebenezer communities, including Tinta Wita Tipi Senior Living, will be among the first to receive the recently approved COVID-19 vaccine within the next week or two. Details of this plan are being filled in on an hour-by-hour basis. In cooperation with the government’s distribution to pharmacies, we will be administering the very first vaccines to staff and residents in Ebenezer’s skilled care communities. The first vaccine shipment will be delivered to the pharmacy. Each week, 25% of the staff across all departments and 25% of the residents will receive their first dose of the vaccine. A second dose will be scheduled to follow. We anticipate that we will begin vaccinating staff and residents within our community in early to mid-January. The same process will apply as with the skilled care vaccination administration. How we will administer vaccine Our Pharmacy will vaccinate residents – including Independent Living residents who reside in communities that provide Assisted Living services, which is Tinta Wita Tipi Senior Living. Our site nurses will vaccinate staff members. The vaccine will be administered in 2 doses. After receiving the first dose, the recipient must receive a second dose. It is important to get the SAME MANUFACTURED VACCINE as the first dose. To ensure that we are getting the vaccine to those who need it most, we will not vaccinate staff or residents who have tested positive for COVID-19 within the last 90 days. We will vaccinate these individuals at a later date. We strongly encourage staff and residents to get vaccinated At this time, we are not requiring that all staff and residents get the vaccine, however, we are strongly encouraging it. Vaccinating a significant majority of staff and residents is the only way we will be able to stop the spread of the virus. About the vaccine This vaccine is safe and effective (95% effective). Both the PFIZER and MODERNA vaccine are mRNA vaccines.
Potential side effects As with any vaccine, your body may react to the vaccine as those antibodies are being made. Not everyone will experience this reaction. Below are the most common
Will we still need to wear face masks? Similar to other types of vaccines, a large number of people in the community will need to get vaccinated before transmission drops enough to stop the use of masks. Is the vaccine safe?
Our residents and staff will be asked about their interest in receiving the vaccination and will be asked to sign a consent at some point prior to the vaccination being administered. If they choose to decline, they will be asked to sign a declination. The declination is not binding. Those within our community can receive the vaccine later, if they change their minds. Questions? It is important to get information from reliable sources (CDC, AMDA, medical directors, medical providers, etc.) Here are some links to information: CDC: https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/hcp/covid-conversations/answering-questions.html CDC: About COVID-19 vaccines: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/about-vaccines.html CDC: Provider Resources for COVID-19 Vaccine Conversations with Patients and Answering Patients’ Questions: https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/hcp/covid-conversations/ LeadingAgeMinnesota https://www.leadingagemn.org/assets/docs/COVID_19_Vaccine_Questions_(2).pdf Be first in line for your vaccine and reserve your apartment home at Tinta Wita Tipi - ask about our Limited Time Move-In Special
