COVID Strategies from our Behavioral Health Team

Updated: January 13, 2021 COVID-19 Message To our Valued Patients, With the Emergency Use Authorization for two vaccines effective against COVID-19 approved by the Food and Drug Administration, we enter a new and more optimistic phase of the current pandemic. It is important to keep in mind that it will likely be months before a vaccine becomes widely available in the United States and thus, your continued vigilance is needed. Currently, limited supplies of Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccine are being distributed to front-line healthcare workers as well as staff and residents of long-term care facilities, per the guidance of the United States CDC. Quantities of these vaccines remain limited and it is estimated that the vaccinations will not be available to most patients until late spring. The CDC continues to work on prioritization and planning of vaccine distribution. At Nasson Health Care, we have started vaccinating our care teams so we can continue to care for those who are ill. We are also working on plans for vaccine distribution among our patients. Once guidance from the CDC is finalized, we stand ready to offer the vaccine to you. What this means is that, amid the hopeful signs that a vaccine has become available, we still have much work to do, together, to combat this pandemic. The best ways to prevent the spread of COVID-19 continue to include good hand washing, social distancing and wearing a face covering. Additionally, please do not travel unless absolutely necessary. Staying healthy also means staying current with your preventive care appointments. We continue to be available and safe to see you for health screenings and testing. Telehealth appointments are also available and should be utilized whenever possible. Even as the vaccines roll out, the risk of transmission in Maine remains high and we will need your help and vigilance in combatting this pandemic. We are in this together. Please do not hesitate to contact your care team at Nasson Health Care with any questions or concerns as we move forward into this new phase. We wish you a safe and healthy New Year, and may 2021 be a year of new beginnings. Sincerely, Rhianna Meadows, DO Medical Director Nasson Health Care
