With the COVID-19 vaccines now being distributed across the state, you may have many questions about who is getting it and how it works. Fortunately, we have received the COVID-19 vaccine in our community and have begun administering it to our residents and team! The CDC has many recommendations for who will get which vaccine and at what age.
