A care home in Glasgow, Scotland that was one of the first of its kind to see the roll of the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine has reported a serious outbreak of the Chinese virus just one month after its residents took the jab.
The Sunday Mail reports that the care home providers Sanctuary Care and NHS Lanarkshire are working together to manage the outbreak and worryingly experts believe the outbreak demonstrates the vaccine may not be enough to end the pandemic.
In a public statement Ashley Goodfellow, NHS Lanarkshire consultant in public health, said:
“NHS Lanarkshire’s Health Protection Team is currently managing an outbreak in Abercorn care home in Hamilton.
“We are working closely with the care home manager and have provided outbreak management and infection prevention and control advice and support to the home.
“NHS Lanarkshire’s Health Protection Team is in regular contact with all care homes which have an outbreak until they are resolved and formally declared over.
“We recognise this has been a difficult time for care home residents, their families and friends, and members of staff.”
