It was a devastating autumn for residents and staff of Oak Meadows Senior Living. Over a two-week period in November, 10 residents of the assisted-living complex in Oakdale died suddenly from COVID-19 and 31 residents and workers fell ill from the virus.
After witnessing the horror of people gasping for air and dying, administrator Deborah Veit expected front-line workers to leap at the opportunity to be inoculated against the deadly virus when vaccines finally arrived at the facility this week. Instead, nearly half the 75 staff members who care for residents at Oak Meadows are refusing the shots out of fear of side effects and distrust in the vaccine s efficacy. After all that we ve been through, I was blown away that staff wouldn t want [the vaccine], said Veit, executive director of Oak Meadows, which no longer has active coronavirus infections. There s too much fear of the unknown.
