Here’s a feel-good story.
When Lutheran Services’ aged care facilities Orana in Kingaroy and Tabeel in Laidley, Queensland, realised it would have excess COVID-19 vaccines, Orana Manager Kym Zischke and Tabeel Manager Melanie Wagner got to work.
They made countless phone calls and had staff door-knocking medical practices, pharmacies and the emergency services.
Not one vial of vaccine went to waste at Orana, while Tabeel managed to allocate all but three of the 70 left over after vaccinating 70 residents and 40 staff.
“The care and professionalism of the clinical team that came to Orana was amazing. They communicated and dealt with our residents beautifully. Everyone was closely monitored. It was a very thorough and well supported operation. Everything went like clockwork. It’s great to have completed our first round,” said Ms Zischke.
