8 Things to Know about the U.S.

COVID-19 Vaccination Program

1. The Safety of COVID-19 vaccines is a top priority

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Emergency Use Authorizations (EUA) for two COVID-19 vaccines which have been shown to be safe and effective as determined by data from the manufacturers and findings from large clinical trials. These data demonstrate that the known and potential benefits of this vaccine outweigh the known and potential harms of becoming infected with the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID 19).

2. COVID-19 vaccination will help protect you from getting COVID-19. Two doses are needed.

Depending on the specific vaccine you get, a second shot 3-4 weeks after your first shot is needed to get the most protection the vaccine has to offer against this serious disease.

3. CDC is making recommendations for who should be offered COVID-19 vaccine first when supplies are limited.

There are 3 phases.

CDC recommends that initial supplies of COVID-19 vaccine be allocated to healthcare personnel and long-term care facility residents, this is considered phase 1a. Phase 1b is considered frontline essential workers, and people aged 75 years and older. Phase 1c is people aged 65-74 years, people aged 16—64 with underlying medical conditions, and

other essential workers.

4. There is currently a limited supply of COVID-19 vaccine in the United States, but supply will increase in the weeks and months to come.

The goal is for everyone to be able to easily get vaccinated against COVID-19 as soon as large enough quantities are available. Once vaccine is widely available, the plan is to have several thousand vaccination providers offering COVID-19 vaccines in doctors’ offices, retail pharmacies, hospitals, and federally qualified health centers.

Rose Centers News

Congregate meals are available at your local Rose Center for a suggested donation of $1.00 5. After COVID-19 vaccination, you may

have some side effects. This is a normal sign that your body is building protection.

You may have some side effects, which are normal signs that your body is building

protection. These side effects may affect your ability to do daily activities, but they should go away in a few days. Common side effects are pain and swelling at injection site, fever, chills, tiredness, and a headache.

6. Cost is not an obstacle to getting vaccinated against COVID-19.

Vaccine doses purchased with U.S. taxpayer dollars will be given to the American people at no cost. However, vaccination providers may be able to charge administration fees for giving the shot.

7. The first COVID-19 vaccine is being used under an Emergency Use Authorization from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Many other vaccines are still being developed and tested.

State, tribal, local, and territorial health departments have developed distribution plans to make sure all recommended vaccines are available to their

communities.

8. COVID-19 vaccines are one of many important tools to help us stop this pandemic.

It’s important for everyone to continue using all the tools available to help stop this pandemic as we learn more about how COVID-19 vaccines work in real-world conditions. Cover your mouth and nose with a mask when around others, stay at least 6 feet away from others, avoid crowds, and

wash your hands often.

Vote on Tuesday, November 3, 2020 Dear Seniors of The Gunning Park Rose Center,

Happy New Year!

As we all are aware 2020 has taken its toll on everyone, we pray you are well and weathered a very difficult time in our history. 2021 brings us new hope with the vaccine already being administered to our most vulnerable and the

backbone of this country.

We have missed seeing all of you, being part of the

festivities at the center and most of all just being together, sharing information, hugs and smiles.

Please stay well, safe and healthy as the light at the end of the tunnel is very near and we cannot wait to be with you again.

On behalf of Rocky River Gardens Nursing and

Rehabilitation Center we hope to see you back at the center, soon.

Sincerely,

Kelly Lambert

Calories: This will tell you how many calories are in a serving size. It will also tell you how many of those calories are from fat. As a general rule, no more than 25 to 35 percent of the total calories should come from fat.

Total Fat: Measured in grams, total fat will list the types of fat found in a serving size of packaged food. Saturated fat and trans fats are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Many unsaturated fats are good for you — in moderation.

Cholesterol: This number tells you how much cholesterol is included in one serving size of the product. It does not differentiate between cholesterol from saturated or unsaturated fats.

Sodium: Like sugar, sodium (salt) is naturally found in a lot of foods. Most adults should keep their sodium level to less than 2,300 mg per day.

Dietary Fiber: Dietary fiber is an important component of good nutrition. It aids in digestion and bowel function. A high fiber diet that is low in saturated fat and cholesterol can help reduce the risk for heart disease.

% Daily Value: The % daily value is based on a 2,00– calorie per day diet.

Your calorie requirements may differ, so these percentages may not be accurate for you.
