COVID-19 Vaccinations
Community Pharmacy, our pharmacy partner, has shared that the FDA/CDC has provided new guidance for COVID-19 vaccinations. Following FDA regulatory action, the CDC acted to streamline COVID-19 vaccine recommendations by authorizing single-shot BIVALENT vaccines. The original (monovalent) primary series COVID-19 vaccine is no longer authorized. At this stage of the pandemic, data supports simplifying the use of the authorized mRNA bivalent COVID-19 vaccines. The FDA/CDC will continue to monitor COVID-19 outbreaks and vaccine effectiveness in the months ahead and decisions about future vaccinations in the fall are forthcoming. Stonehill will be e-mailing information and consent forms to resident representatives over the next several days to determine if residents would like to receive a Bivalent vaccine or booster. Read the updated guidance from Community Pharmacy related to COVID-19 vaccinations.
If you have any questions regarding visitation or our ongoing precautionary measures you may contact Peggy Stockel, V.P. of Operations or Matt Jahn, Director of Health Services at 563-557-7180.
Thank you,
