Nursing home residents among first to get COVID vaccine in mass
LOWELL, MA (WBZ) Those in long-term care and nursing home facilities will be among the first people to get the COVID-19 vaccine in Massachusetts. For their families, this advancement is a ray of hope to one-day hug their loved ones again.
With a coronavirus vaccine on the way, 79-year-old Claudia Torre told WBZ-TV from her nursing home window in Lowell that she’s eager to finally step outside and be with her relatives.
“I’m the type of person who likes to be outside, walking around,” she shouted. “I think I’m going to be one of the top ones because I’m older!”
