Yesterday, AHCA/NCAL hosted a live virtual townhall to help answer questions among long term care staff on the COVID-19 vaccines.
Hundreds of caregivers asked important questions to our panel of medical professionals: Dr. David Gifford, chief medical officer for AHCA/NCAL and Dr. Sarah Berry, an academic geriatrician at Hebrew Rehabilitation Center in Boston. Participants also heard from three frontline caregivers located across the U.S. who shared their reasons for getting vaccinated.
The event was part of the association's
#GetVaccinated campaign, which encourages staff, residents and families to sign up for the vaccine and offers credible information to help individuals make an informed decision. The event was also in support of the White House's National Month of Action to encourage as many Americans as possible to get at least one shot by July 4.
