As the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine has received Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Five Star intends to take advantage of the federal plan prioritizing long-term care residents and workers. Five Star will prioritize the vaccination of residents and staff in its skilled nursing, memory care and assisted living units at no cost to them. Independent living residents at Five Star communities will subsequently be prioritized according to state guidelines.
