Louisiana Department of Health officials recently issued a
statement urging all eligible individuals to be vaccinated at the
earliest opportunity. The COVID-19 virus has had a devastating
impact on skilled nursing communities in Louisiana. More than
12,000 nursing home residents contracted the virus in the state and
more than 2,800 of these patients succumbed to the illness.
The vaccines have proven to be better than 94% effective at
preventing COVID-19 in clinical trials. As with any vaccine, there
is a low risk of side effects with the most common being injection
side tenderness, fatigue, headache and muscle pain. Severe
reactions to the injection are uncommon. You cannot get COVID-19
from the vaccine.
The Priority Management executive team was among the first in
their organization to be vaccinated. Doug Boulware, William Bauder,
and Steven Boulware received initial injections in early January
without incident or problem.
“I was eager to be vaccinated and do my part
in taking the first step towards ending the COVID-19 pandemic,”
said Doug Boulware, president of Priority Management Group. “It is
my sincere hope that every resident and staff member will choose to
be vaccinated. This is the best and quickest way to bring about an
end to the pandemic and ensure greater safety for everyone.”
Priority Management strives to attain a work environment where
each employee is valued and respected. We promote advancing
excellence in health care services to enhance optimal nursing care
in our 21 skilled nursing facilities (SNFs), two assisted living
facilities (AL) and four long-term acute care hospitals (LTACH) in
Louisiana and Texas.
