The first doses of the coronavirus vaccine have been administered to staff and residents of a nursing home in Connecticut.
Jean Peters, a 95-year-old resident of the Reservoir in West Hartford, was the first nursing home resident to get vaccinated. She was so pumped up, Gov. Ned Lamont said.
She said she might not be able to see her family for the holidays, but hopes to celebrate in a month or two, have her vaccines and see her family. These vials of hope have arrived. Today is a historic day and this vaccine is critical to our ability to end this pandemic, Dr. Richard Feifer, the executive vice president and chief medical officer and president of Genesis Physician Services, said.
