    This needs to happen nation-wide. Nursing homes house a vulnerable population even when vaccinated—the immune system is less robust as we age, and many people in these facilities have other conditions. Many already mandate flu vaccine for staff, as they should. Add this, too.https://twitter.com/BostonGlobe/status/1422947559987949572 …

        Massachusetts has much higher than average vaccination among nursing home staff, but it's already seeing increases in cases. Such congregate living facilities for the elderly are *exactly* where Delta can do much damage. We should demand higher standards.https://twitter.com/BostonGlobe/status/1422955241235009539 …

        The administration cited a a five-fold increase in COVID-19 infections among staff and residents in Massachusetts nursing homes in the past month. Unvaccinated workers must get at least one dose by Sept. 1 and be fully vaccinated by Oct. 10. http://bos.gl/NNvWsXd

        This should also absolutely be applied to prisons, jails, ICE facilities, and police departments.

        Many of these institutions unfortunately have extremely anti-vaxx union leadership+members that are very politically powerful. But I’ll remain hopeful 😞

        My sister working at a nursing home needed to get a flu AND tetanus shot for work. Super surprising nursing homes haven’t been the first to move considering the mortality of patients and staff 😞

        Populations are not vulnerable, it's the conditions around them that are inadequate. Preferred terms 'at-risk.'

        It's shocking how many unvaccinated healthcare workers there are. I thought that industry would be 99% vaccinated.

        I believe in some areas, it is much higher. Unacceptable and incredibly sad.

        The sooner the FDA can approve the vaccine the better. I know a number of people who don’t want to get it because it is not FDA approved.
