Mom in long term care gets Moderna next Wednesday.

My 98 year old mother is in a nursing home, and I got a call today that she will be getting Moderna sometime next Wednesday.  Both staff and elders will be getting the vaccine.  The main point of the call wasn’t so much informative, but it was to obtain consent, and ask about whether my mother had ever had bad reactions to vaccines in the past, so they couldn’t just do an email blast.  I haven’t seen a public announcement from the facility — if they make one, I can post a link.

In this case, it will be Walgreens that will actually come in and do the work — I am told that CVS is also capable of doing this, and that it is really just a choice made by the facility as to which one they go with.

They said it will be a busy day — there are nearly 600 people at this place, but not all are in long-term care.  They also have assisted living and independent living, and I don’t know if everyone will get it next week.  And of course they go through it all again in 4 weeks.

I myself will have to wait a bit, but that’s OK.  That being said, I would like to get it sooner rather than later in the hopes that visitation will again be allowed.  For me it isn’t just getting in a car and driving over — it involves catching a flight and going through an airport, and I would rather not do that myself until I have the vaccine.
