A rash of COVID-19 cases at a New Paltz nursing facility is raising questions since more than half of the infected were vaccinated.
The cases occurred at an upscale retirement and assisted living facility called Woodland Pond.
CEO Michelle Gramoglia says of the 15 positive cases discovered over the past week through routine testing, eight of them are fully vaccinated residents - and are among the most vulnerable in the community. One lives in our assisted living unit, then the seven others are in skilled nursing. It just means they are in the highest level of care, says Gramoglia.
