Get Vaccinated; Stay Safe
SEIU Healthcare Michigan is Teaming up with Nursing Home Employers and the City of Detroit to Host On-Site Vaccine Clinics to Make It Easy for Workers Protect Ourselves, Our Families and Our Residents
Nursing home workers have been on the front lines of this pandemic, risking our lives to care for and protect the most vulnerable members of our community. Getting vaccinated ensures that we can continue to provide care to our residents and make our workplaces safe and healthy for all. Vaccines are the ultimate protection against COVID.
Getting vaccinated is a necessary step to getting our lives back on track. Being vaccinated means we can safely see and hug our families and friends again and get our children back to social and learning environments that help them thrive.
As we continue to fight together to demand better from our employers and to raise wages and standards across the nursing home industry, it is up to all of us to protect each other and our residents.
Hear more from Tamara, a Detroit CNA who works at Ambassador nursing home, about why she got vaccinated:
