Three hundred fifty staff members at The Towers senior assisted-living home received their Covid-19 vaccine shots on Wednesday, Jan. 13.
Three hundred residents were delivered doses directly in their rooms a day earlier by Walgreens pharmacists and Tower Lane employees.
Out of 320 residents, roughly 20 had opted out of the vaccine.

Isidor “Izzy” Juda, a 99-year-old Holocaust survivor, was one of the residents who received their vaccine on Tuesday, Jan. 12.
