FULTON, Miss. (WTVA) - Some residents living at the Courtyards Community Living Center became some of the first north Mississippians living in long-term care facilities to receive the coronavirus vaccine.
Walgreens staff delivered approximately 75 doses of the Pfizer vaccine Wednesday morning.
Administrator Tommy Minshew said this first round is to be distributed among the 85 staff members and 55 seniors at the facility.
After receiving the first dose, everyone waited in a secluded room for 15 minutes and were monitored for any possible side effects.
