Fountains Care Home residents, in Shirley Solihull were treated to a “New Years gift” of covid vaccines after a visit from GP Russell and GP Kotecha from Solihull Healthcare Partnership.
Residents were genuinely excited to receive their vaccine and it gave everyone such a feeling of hope for the future. What a positive start to 2021!
The second round of vaccination will be administered at a later date.
Sonia Tenniswood, General Manager said “the vaccine feels like a light at the end of the tunnel after what has been a very challenging year. Our Teams have been magnificent throughout this pandemic and risen to every challenge so we are extremely proud”
Sonia added how grateful she was to GP Russell and team for their professionalism and ensuring residents were relaxed and at ease throughout the process.
