RESIDENTS At All Inverclyde Care Homes Have Been Given Vaccine

8 January, 2021 | Local

Kincaid House resident and former nurse Aileen Hunter (87) was one of the first to receive her jab last month.

THE first dose of the coronavirus vaccine has now been given to residents in all of Inverclyde’s 14 care homes.

Local health and care authorities say plans are in place to deliver the jab to a small number of residents who were not able to get the vaccine in their care home.

Arrangements are also being made to vaccinate residents who are housebound.

The first people in the over-80 age group received their vaccination today (Friday 8 January).

Further roll-out to this age group will continue next week and people will be contacted directly by their GP practice or the health board.

Inverclyde Health and Social Care Partnership is in liaison with the health board regarding the wider vaccination programme, which is dependent on supply from manufacturers.
