I hope you’re doing well and are able to enjoy this mild spring weather we’re experiencing.
We are excited that our staff have been willing to become vaccinated for COVID-19 to promote patient safety in the Center. Our current staff vaccination rate is approximately 87% as of today’s report. We continue to promote and encourage staff and patient vaccination and hope this is encouraging to you.
As previously reported, we are now able to provide COVID-19 vaccination on an on-going basis to staff and patients. We will be receiving doses of vaccine from our pharmacy partner. We will not be receiving the vaccine that is manufactured by Johnson & Johnson while it is being studied further by the FDA. It is our hope that making the vaccine available on-site will encourage continued vaccination participation among our patients and staff.
County Positivity Rate: Increased to 5.9%.
Testing Frequency for Staff and Patients: Staff are tested weekly based on county positivity rate. Patients are tested as needed based on symptoms or exposure.
PPE: The supply remains adequate. Staff receive ongoing education on appropriate PPE utilization.
Visitation: Virtual, outdoor, and indoor visitation are currently available. Click this link to schedule a visit: https://dulles-rehab.com/patient-visitations.
As always, please feel free to reach out with any questions you may have.
Sincerely,
Leslie Ruffner, LNHA
