>> WELCOME BACK TO CHEDDAR'S
NEWS WRAP FRIENDS. THE FIRST
ROLL OUT OF THE CORONAVIRUS
VACCINE WILL LIKELY REACH
NURSING HOMES IN THE NEXT
FEW WEEKS THEN THOSE FACILITIES
WILL BEGIN THE DAUNTING TASK OF
MAKING SURE IT'S VULNERABLE
ELDERLY POPULATION
IS VACCINATED I'M JOINED NOW BY
DAN STOCKDALE CEO AND LICENSED
NURSING HOME ADMINISTRATOR, ITS
WHALING IN OMAHA, NEBRASKA DOWN
WELCOME TO
THE SHOW.
>> SO IT'S A JUMP IN HERE I
WANT TO START WITH LOGISTICS OF
COURSE WHAT'S THE FIRST STEP
HERE IS
YOUR FEAR PHILIPPI VACCINATING
PATIENTS ON ITS OWN ARE YOU
GUYS WORKING WITH THE PHARMACY
TO GET THIS DONE WHAT IS THE
FIRST STEP.
>> OKAY, ACTUALLY BE
COORDINATION EFFORT WE OPERATED
10 DIFFERENT THE CORONATION
EFFORTS PRETTY SIMILAR IN ALL
THE STATES. PRIMARY THING THAT
WE NEED TO DO IS TO MAKE SURE
THAT WE HAVE ALL THE STAFF
THERE AT THE APPROPRIATE TIME
SOME OF OUR BUILDINGS IN RURAL
AREAS AND SO IT WOULD BE
RELIGIOUS LOGISTICAL STANDPOINT
VERY DIFFICULT TO
GET PEOPLE THE FACILITY AND
THEN YOU KNOW TO ADMINISTER THE
VACCINES AND THEN I HAVE
TO HAVE EMPLOYEES WHO MISSED
AND THEN BRING THEM BACK AGAIN
SO IT'S BEING ADMINISTERED BY
THE PHARMACY AND SO
COORDINATION AND LOGISTICS IS
OUR BIG
INTO THAT.
>> I WANT TO ASK ABOUT ANOTHER
POSSIBLE CHALLENGE BECAUSE WE
KNOW THE VACCINE HAS TO BE
STORED AT EXTREMELY COLD
TEMPERATURES. WE KNOW THERE ARE
2 DOSES 2 ROUNDS OF IT. HOW
DOES THAT COMPLICATE THINGS FOR
NURSING HOMES.
>> YOU KNOW WE WERE PREPARED
ACTUALLY TO BUY THE FREEZE
UNITS AND HAVE THOSE PREPARED,
HOWEVER, AS OF RIGHT NOW IT
JUST SAYS MADE IT TO WHERE THE
PHARMACY IS ACTUALLY HOW THAT
EQUIPMENT AVAILABLE. SO THAT
THE INDIVIDUAL FACILITIES DO
NOT HAVE TO PURCHASE IT ON
THEIR OWN. SO THEY WILL BE
BRINGING IT TO US AT THE
APPROPRIATE TEMPERATURE AND
MINISTRY IMMEDIATELY.
>> PLANNING AHEAD, I LOVE THAT
YOU ARE DEALING WITH A
VULNERABLE POPULATION, THEY'RE
LIVING IN
CLOSE QUARTERS. WELL IF THE
MANDATORY FOR THE RESIDENTS,
WHAT HAPPENS IF THEY DECIDE NOT
TO GET VACCINATED.
>> SO THAT'S YOU KNOW ONE OF
THOSE AREAS THAT CAN ALWAYS
BE VERY TOUCH AND THE RESIDENTS
YOU CAN NOT FORCE THEM TO TAKE
A VACCINE. SO IT IS GOING TO BE
OPTIONAL FOR THE RESIDENTS JUST
LIKE A REGULAR
INFLUENZA SHOT. THERE
ARE SOME STATES AND EVEN
AUSTRALIA TRY IT YOU KNOW CAME
OUT EARLIER AND SAID THEY WERE
GOING TO MANDATE IT FOR ALL
CITIZENS YOU KNOW WITHIN THE
U.S. THERE IS A
CASE JACOB CIN VERSUS BEST TO
SUSPECT IN 19 O 5 WENT TO THE
SUPREME COURT SAID THAT YOU
LOOK AT IT CITIES
AND STATES, GOOD MANDATE,
CERTAIN POPULATIONS TO DO IT,
BUT THEY CAN'T DO IT ON A
WIDESPREAD YOU KNOW WE'RE WE'RE
KIND OF IN THAT AREA WHERE IT.
IT'S MANDATED BY GOVERNOR.
COULD BE
FORCED. BUT I DON'T SEE THAT
HAPPENING. I THINK YOU'RE GOOD
YOU WOULD SEE SO
MUCH PUSHBACK.
>> SURE WHAT ARE YOU HEARING
FROM RESIDENTS, HOW COMFORTABLE
ARE THEY WHEN IT COMES TO
RECEIVING THIS VACCINE DOWN.
>> YOU KNOW, I'M HERE AT EXIT
OF A POSITIVE AND SOME MIX
EMOTIONS ARE AS WELL SOME
SKEPTICISM IS SLIM. IT'S LI
THESE THINGS YOU KNOW
THE PROCESS OR VACCINE. IT
TAKES AND THE CONSENT LONGER SO
THE CONCERN I'M HEARING ARE
THAT THEY
FULL RIGHTS THAT IS ACTUALLY
GOING TO BE AS EFFECTIVE AS
WHAT THE THIS PICTURE SHOWING
RIGHT NOW SO THOSE OF US THINGS
OUT HERE. WHAT ABOUT FROM
FAMILY MEMBERS ARE THEY
CONCERNED.
YEAH, YES FAMILIES ARE
DEFINITELY CONCERNED YOU LOT OF
PEOPLE
ARE UNDER THE AND THAT IS A
FAMILY MEMBER HAS HAD A VACCINE
THAT THEY BE FREE TO COME IN
AND VISIT THEIR LOVED ONE IN
THE NURSING HOME.
AND THERE'S A LOT OF CONFUSION
AROUND THE COUNTRY ABOUT HOW
THE WHOLE PROCESS PLAYS OUT AND
THAT REALLY HAS NOTHING
TO DO WITH
THE ACT SHORT INTERACTION RATE
IN THE NURSING HOME HAS TO DO
WITH THAT COMMUNITY OR THE
COUNTY INFECTION GREAT SO IF
IT'S ABOVE IN PERSON BUSINESS
OR SIMPLY A NO-GO.
>> ONCE AN ENTIRE FACILITY IS
VACCINATED
INCLUDING STAFF WITH YOUR DAY
TO DAY BUSINESS LOOK LIKE WITH
THINGS GO BACK TO PREPANDEMIC
NORMAL.
>> I DON'T THINK WE'RE GOING TO
SEE THINGS
RETURNED TO YOU KNOW A KIND OF
A QUOTE UNQUOTE NORMAL
PACE FOR MANY MANY MANY MANY
MONTHS IF NOT A YEAR
THIS IS BEN 2 DEVASTATING TO
THE LONG-TERM CARE INDUSTRY AND
THE PEOPLE THAT WE SEE SERVE
EVERY SINGLE DAY. WE
HAVE THAT VERY
FRAIL VULNERABLE POPULATION
THAT WE DEAL WITH AND I THINK
ARE GOING TO SEE THE BACKING
OFF
OF THAT PPE AND OR EXTRA
PRECAUTIONS THAT WE'RE TAKING A
BIGGER SEE THAT HAPPENING VERY
VERY
VERY GRADUALLY.
>> ARE YOU CONCERNED ABOUT THE
SAFETY OF THE VACCINE WHEN IT
COMES TO YOUR RESIDENTS AND
IF NOT OR IF SO WHAT ARE SOME
OF THE MISCONCEPTIONS IN YOUR
OPINION WHEN IT COMES TO
GETTING MASK, MAX NATIVE FOR
YOUR RESIDENTS.
>> YOU KNOW I DO BELIEVE THAT
THERE ARE A LOT OF
MISCONCEPTIONS
AS FAR AS THE IT'S GOING YOU
KNOW THAT THEY'RE GOING TO GET
EXTREMELY ILL AFTER TAKING THE
VACCINE, I'VE HEARD THAT
FLOATING AROUND THAT SEVERAL OF
OUR FACILITIES AND THAT'S NOT
NECESSARILY THE
CASE THAT YOU KNOW WE WE ARE
NOT WE DON'T ANTICIPATE
ACCORDING TO WHAT WE'RE HEARING
OUT THE CHURCHES AND THE AGE OF
JUST THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A
LOT OF YOU KNOW KIND OF A
PSEUDO ILLNESS HAPPENED.
THOSE FIRST FEW DAYS
AFTER PRACTICING, SO THAT'S
THAT'S KIND THE BIGGEST THING
THAT WE'RE HEARING AT THIS
POINT.
>> WE WISH YOU THE BEST OF LUCK
