In partnership with Walgreens, Alden Valley Ridge Rehabilitation and Health Care Center in Bloomingdale held its first COVID-19 vaccine clinic for residents and staff today. The clinic vaccinated 200 of its staff and residents with the first dose of the Pfizer vaccine. We are pleased to be able to offer the COVID-19 vaccine to our residents and staff, said Robert Molitor, Chief Executive Officer. Our residents have a much higher risk for getting sick, being hospitalized, or dying from COVID-19. Our caregivers live in the community where the virus continues to spread, and yet despite the circumstances, they continue to risk their lives caring for our most vulnerable. This vaccine has been shown to provide a great deal of protection against the virus and will save many lives.
