Vaccines are one step in mitigating the virus. We will continue to take all necessary precautions, including wearing personal protective equipment and conducting regular testing, to ensure the safety of our residents and staff. We will also work with public health officials to determine how and when to adjust our policies for visitations and social activities.
Vaccine Information for Residents and Families
Completed consent forms (scanned) and/or general consent should be emailed to mscott@westridgecarecenter.com. There will be no costs to get the vaccine.
Please read the EUA fact sheet and contact Michon Scott with any questions. Potential side effects are listed on the fact sheet. You will find that these side effects are similar to the potential side effects of the flu shot, but they occur more frequently. The vaccine requires two doses. Residents will need to get both doses to ensure the best results. The second dose will be given approximately 21 to 28 days after the first dose.
