Fred Simpkins, a 62-year-old resident of the Silver City Care Center, was among the 80 residents and staff at the long-term care facility who received the Moderna coronavirus vaccine this week. Rebecca Singleton, a certified pharmacy technician and the manager of the Silver City CVS Pharmacy store, administered the shots.
Silver City’s CVS Pharmacy administered its first doses of the Moderna coronavirus vaccine to long-term care facility residents and staff in Grant County this week, starting with the Silver City Care Center, which has been particularly hard hit by the COVID-19 pandemic. Seven of the Genesis HealthCare-operated facility’s approximately 100 residents passed away last year after contracting COVID-19, and at last report, a total of 30 residents and 24 staff members had tested positive.
