Americans living or working in long-term care facilities will receive COVID-19 vaccinations for free if and when they become available, the Trump administration said Friday.
Americans living or working in long-term care facilities, including nursing homes and assisted care living centers, will receive COVID-19 vaccinations for free if and when they become available, the Trump administration said Friday.
Calling the deal the"Pharmacy Partnership for Long-Term Care Program," the Trump administration said residents of long-term care facilities"may be part of the prioritized groups for initial COVID-19 vaccination efforts until there are enough doses available for every American who wishes to be vaccinated."
While coordinating COVID-19 immunizations at the state level is a complex and ongoing process, “this public-private partnership to vaccinate nursing home and long-term facility residents and workers is a giant step forward,” said Claire Hannan, executive director of the Association of Immunization Managers.
CVS and Walgreens are expected to coordinate three clinics apiece directly with each long-term care facility over the course of about two months to ensure the administration of two doses of the vaccine, if necessary.
