Vaccination of health care workers in nursing homes should be an absolute requirement. Same goes for health care workers everywhere, but it's especially important in nursing homes.

Yes, they have. The nursing home in South Alabama where they work is riddled with cases. Both in residents and spreading to the nurses in both the nursing home and the hospital next door.

Thank yor for replying! If you get any details, please update--like whether their symptoms are mild, any hospitalizations.

Understand that a lot of what I will say is vague, because they're not going to give up any patient information, which is totally understandable. Most conversations are in very general terms.

Symptoms in vaccinated people seem to be less severe than unvaccinated according to what they've seen "so far". Whether or not that changes it still to be seen. So far very few hospitalizations for people who had already taken the vaccine and made it through the 14-28 day period after (no details on which vaccines or if any seem more effective than others). They won't say anything about age though, so I don't know if that plays a factor or if there were any other conditions that may have caused it.

There are still some folks who are unvaccinated, and there are a couple cases of hospitalization but they won't divulge specific numbers.

Sorry it's vague, but it's the best I've got.


My dad is the local funeral director that handles everyone who passes at the hospital and nursing home (he's next door) and he did say that they seem to be in a hot spot right now.
