OVERLAND PARK, Kan. â There was a luau-themed party Thursday inside
Morningside Place, an assisted living facility in Overland Park, where residents and staff celebrated being fully vaccinated.
Dozens of smiling residents recently received the second dose of the Pfizer vaccine. The staff also has been inoculated. The shots didnât hurt at all, couldnât even feel them, resident Kappi Braddock said.
But they were a reason to party.
For residents at long-term care facilities, it s been a long year, trying to stay safe from a virus that is hardest on the elderly. It meant missing the little joys in life, such as riding on a bus through town.
