78 Doses Of Coronavirus Vaccine Administered To Physicians And Staff At Ross Memorial Hospital | Kawartha 411 KAWARTHA LAKES-Physicians and staff at Ross Memorial Hospital in Lindsay have begun the vaccination process. On March 3rd, the first doses of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine were administered to 78 Ross Memorial Hospital (RMH) staff and physicians. Following the provincial ethical framework, the vaccine roll-out at RMH will prioritize staff and physicians who are considered front line, in high- risk clinical areas according to the hospital. It is anticipated that all highest priority staff and physicians will receive their first dose by the end of the week. The Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit has confirmed that the Hospital will receive enough doses of the Pfizer vaccine over the coming weeks, to complete both first and second doses for its entire team of more than 1,000 staff and physicians, as well as to support vaccinations for other health care workers in the community. "This marks an important milestone in the battle against COVID-19 - a battle which our staff and physicians have been on the front lines of for a year now," says Kelly Isfan, RMH President and CEO. "We can all sleep better knowing that our team is protected against this deadly virus, and we can continue to provide exceptional care to our community." "We thank RMH for their work in vaccinating health care workers in our community," said Dr. Ian Gemmill, Acting Medical Officer of the Health with the HKPRDHU. "The hospital and its staff have worked with the local public health agency throughout this pandemic, and they continue to help to prevent the spread of this virus to others by vaccinating their staff who are seeing and treating patients." With additional doses of the Pfizer vaccine being delivered locally, HKPRDHU is continuing to provide vaccine to long-term care homes and high-risk retirement homes to ensure that those staff are vaccinated.
