LOCK HAVEN Haven Place has its first coronavirus death.
Confirmation of the resident’s death at the facility from COVID-19 came from Bobbie Woolcock, regional director of nursing operations for UPMC Senior Communities of which Haven Place is part of.
Woolcock said the resident who died had received the first dose of the Moderna vaccine, noting that it can take up to 14 days to build immunity, which is bolstered further, seven days after the second dose.
As of Jan. 12, 92 percent of the residents of Haven Place have received the first dose of the Moderna vaccine, Woolcock said.
“We have nine additional residents who tested positive for COVID-19 seven days after vaccination, indicating they may have already been positive before vaccination or contracted it between testing cycles,” Woolcock said.
