When the LTCF community gets vaccinated the national fatality, ICU, and hospitalization rates for COVID should improve dramatically.

*fingers crossed* that the vaccine(s) apply smoothly for the LTCF residents.

Anecdotally, fwliw, we just received a notice from the facility where my mom lives asking for vaccination sign off.  The notice says that they are hoping to have residents vaccinated in the next 2-3 weeks.  Walgreens will be sending the team over to set up and administer the vaccines.  That would be terrific, if true.  But my jaded self will believe it when I see it.  

In all events, I really agree with notion that LTCF rollout needs to be a priority (along with those HCWs on front line) to greatly lower death rate; and share the hope that the vaccines apply smoothly to these recipients.  [A great New Year's present for a lot of families would be a family dinner that includes the folks in assisted living facilities].
