However, efforts are underway in retirement and assisted-living communities.
MaryAnn Ten Eyck and her husband Jim sailed through their second Pfizer COVID-19 vaccination with no wait and no fuss. This was slick as a whistle - we just walked right in, she said. I can t believe the difference. It s just been wonderful.
The couple is one of nearly 500 residents at University Village Thousand Oaks to get vaccinated. CVS pharmacy along with staff at this retirement and assisted-living community administered the shots.
Executive Director Dmitry Estrin says the key to getting so many residents and staff to comply was to cut through the rumors.
