Monday marked a day of celebration as nearly 70 residents at a senior living community in Holland received their second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.
"We've been doing a lot of celebrating," said Angela Keeven, chief wellness officer for Cedarhurst Living. "Because it's the light at the end of the tunnel, you know, the tunnel may be several months longer, but we can see it there."
Addington Place of LakeSide Vista, a Cedarhurst Living community, held it's first vaccine clinic on January 11. At that time, about 60% of residents and 40% of staff received the shot. Some had to hold off at the first clinic as they recovered from contracting the virus during a December outbreak.
