NAHCA Issues Statement on COVID-19 Vaccinations for Certified Nursing Assistants
Following much deliberation and consideration about COVID-19 and the rise of its variants, the National Association of Health Care Assistants (NAHCA) remains divided on the issue of supporting across-the-board vaccine mandates for all aging services employees. While NAHCA urges all frontline staff caring for elders to get vaccinated, the organization also recognizes the significant division on the question of vaccinations among its membership.
As I watched those brave soldiers, I found myself thinking of the brave CNAs putting on their armor (PPE) and considering their choice of weapons—only a gait belt and a walkie-talkie. These CNAs march to the frontline to protect their kings and queens.
