Cochrane and Brandon-based public-health nurse Angelina Scaletta are working as part of the travelling Focused Immunization Teams (FIT), immunizing some of the region’s most vulnerable residents in Personal Care Homes (PCH) and seniors’ congregate living facilities. Hillcrest Place Personal Care Home was the first PCH in Brandon to receive the vaccine, and Scaletta was there to administer the first shot. “I was honoured to participate in delivering the very early COVID vaccinations in Brandon,” Scaletta says. “For me, the day at Hillcrest Place was one of the highlights of my nursing career, and I am committed to continuing this important work.” Throughout Manitoba’s response to COVID-19, public-health nurses from across Prairie Mountain and all other regions of Manitoba have been silent heroes of nursing, supporting individuals, families and entire communities. Prairie Mountain Health is so proud of our nurses and the work they do each and every day. To the dedicated members of the public- health team and to all nurses, in all roles across our region, for commitment, compassion and kindness, we say today and every day, “Thank You!”
Jennifer Cochrane, who usually works in the Virden Health Unit, is one of the public- health nurses from PMH who demonstrates a willingness to fill in where help is needed. Cochrane administered the first vaccines when the Brandon Keystone Centre Supersite opened, and she has travelled to multiple locations to vaccinate seniors. “It is a privilege to be a part of the COVID-19 vaccination program,” she says. “I am very committed to this initiative and very proud to be a part of what will ultimately end the pandemic. I remain in awe of the strong science behind these effective, safe vaccines.”
