WORTHINGTON More than 100 residents of Ecumen Meadows in Worthington received their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine on Tuesday afternoon, and they were eager to celebrate the occasion.
Administrator Nancy Garvin said all but one of the facility’s residents opted to receive the vaccine, while staff members were divided into two teams. Half the staff received the vaccine on Tuesday and the other half will get their first dose in mid-February, when the first half receives their second dose.
