Keeping our staff and residents safe is paramount in all of MercyCare’s aged care services, with the COVID-19 pandemic presenting some of the toughest challenges we’ve ever faced.
In 2021, like all aged care services nationally, our Residential Aged Care staff were required to receive one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine by September that year.
An eight-week COVID-19 Vaccination Update campaign was developed, with support from Devahasdin Marketing, using trusted and relevant sources to dispel any myths and misconceptions surrounding the vaccines.
A Vaccine Project Team was assembled who played a key part in rolling out the program across our Residential Aged Care facilities and ensuring its success.
Thanks to their extraordinary efforts, this campaign was recognised at the 2022 Australian Marketing Institute Awards for Marketing Excellence, in the WA Social Change Marketing category.
