RE: COVID Vaccine Booster

Participants, Family, and Friends,
This message is for those of you that have had one (1) dose of Johnson and Johnson COVID Vaccine, or two (2) doses of Moderna or Pfizer Vaccine.
The effectiveness of these against COVID infection has decreased with time. Although that decrease amount is dependent on the origin of the study, they all agree that they decrease in preventing COVID Infections.

One way to get some of that protection back is to get a third injection – a booster shot. It is preferable to get that third shot with the same vaccine you originally received, i.e., If you received the Johnson and Johnson Vaccine, you should get a Johnson and Johnson Booster. Those who received Moderna should get a Moderna Booster, and those who received Pfizer should get a Pfizer Booster.
You are eligible for the Moderna and Pfizer booster shot six months after your second vaccine and two months after the Johnson and Johnson single vaccine.
Booster injections are available at all major pharmacies, Walmart’s, Walgreen’s, Kinney’s, and Rite Aid’s. There are small privately owned pharmacies that may also have booster shots available, but you will have check with them.
Almost all pharmacies that deliver the Booster injections ask that you schedule an appointment with them ahead of time. If you do not have a computer to schedule an appointment, you should contact the pharmacy by phone or in person.
Thank you and stay safe,
Heritage Farm

AMENDED MASK REQUIREMENT
Pursuant to 10 NYCRR 2.61, The Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC) has identified a national trend of increasing
circulation of the Delta COVID-19 variant, which is approximately
twice as transmissible as the PREVIOUS strain. Since early July,
cases have risen 10-fold, and 95 percent of sequenced recent
positives in New York State were the Delta variant.
COVID-19 spreads through respiratory droplets, and several
studies have shown that appropriate face coverings/masks
reduce the spray of droplets when worn correctly, fully covering
the nose and mouth.
In keeping with the best practice policies of the CDC, DOH, and
Heritage Farm, the wearing of masks will be required while on
Heritage Farm Properties. When outdoors discretion should be
used regarding distancing and familiarity with persons around
you. This policy will be required of all participants, employees,
contractors, vendors, interns, families, and guardians. Visitors
who have essential business will also be required to wear a mask
throughout the visit. If possible, all contacts with Heritage Farm
should be done remotely.
This policy is not intended to change any other policy regarding
mask wearing, i.e. transportation and distancing. Bandannas and
Gators are not allowed. All employees must wear a mask that is
of surgical type or better. Employee/Participant/other person’s
masks that are ill fitting, torn, or dirty will be replaced with a
surgical mask provided by Heritage Farm.
If you work in an area where you are the only person in the room,
you may remove your mask; however, you must place your mask
back on if a person was to enter your office space.

Cultivating Life Skills Through Life Experiences

At Heritage Farm we know you want a customized plan to foster independent life skills in your loved one. We recognize your need to discover a unique and enriching program that promotes personal growth. The problem is traditional curriculum and cookie cutter programming is what most service recipients experience. These challenges can leave you feeling defeated and frustrated.

We believe parents and caregivers should not have to feel like their only option is a system that warehouses their loved one instead of preparing them to lead a more independent life. As service providers in the field, we understand the unique issues and concerns a person living with intellectual and developmental disabilities faces.

We care about building enduring life skills and have empowered hundreds of participants with those abilities. The skills acquired at Heritage Farm leads families, caregivers and participants to a new confidence in a more self-sufficient future. Here’s how it works:
