Team members and residents at Invicta Court care home on Gidd’s Pond Way, Maidstone have been celebrating after they became one of the first homes in the area to receive Covid-19 vaccinations for almost everyone living and working there.
Residents and team members at Care UK’s , were given the first dose of the vaccination with the support of Bower Mount Surgery
Jacqui Pompeus, Home Manager at Invicta Court, said: “We were so pleased that residents in our home have had the vaccination. I would like to offer my thanks to the NHS team at Bower Mount Surgery. They were incredibly efficient, friendly, and made sure everything went smoothly, which was much appreciated.
“This is the first step towards getting back to normal, and we couldn’t have asked for a better way to kick off the year. We’re looking forward to receiving our second dose of the vaccine as soon as we’re able.”
Care UK is keen to stress that the vaccine doesn’t provide full protection against the virus so its teams will continue to follow their stringent infection control measures including regular deep cleaning, regular testing, the use of masks and other PPE, social distancing, air purifiers and temperature checks to keep everyone safe.
