Effective June 30, 2022, vaccination requirements for Staff, Volunteers, Support Workers, Student Placements, Caregivers General Visitors, or other people entering our home will be changing. Proof of up-to-date vaccination will no longer be required for these individuals.

Fairvern will continue to ensure the highest level of safety for the Residents, Team Members, and Visitors by not changing the requirements below.

What is not changing?

• Mandatory masking in the home will continue to be a requirement.
• Fairvern will strongly encourage everyone to get and keep their COVID-19 vaccinations up to date.
• Fairvern will continue to actively screen everyone who enters the home as well as complete a Antigen-tigen Test (RAT) on every visit.
