The City of Ottawa has put together a list of 28 local long-term care homes most at risk of COVID-19 outbreaks, and says Ottawa Public Health's (OPH) mobile vaccination teams will be visiting the homes in order of risk.
The ethical framework used by the city to form the list evaluated the risk of severe disease or outcomes, and health system capacity to ensure ongoing care to their populations. OPH then conducted a census of long-term care and retirement homes, in order to rank the facilities based on the established ethical framework.
There are 14 Ottawa long-term care homes experiencing COVID-19 outbreaks as of Friday, January 8.
Long-term care home administrators are expected to work with staff and residents who are eligible to receive the vaccine in their facilities, to secure consents and other logistics.
