STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. At least one Staten Island nursing home is eyeing the beginning of next week to begin coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccinations, but hurdles like acceptance of an immunization that has been developed and distributed in record time are increasingly becoming present among the Island’s long-term health care facilities.
Scott LaRue, the president and CEO of ArchCare, which runs Carmel Richmond Nursing Home in Dongan Hills among the largest long-term care facilities on the Island said the company expects to begin vaccinations within its nursing homes on Dec. 21 and will reach its Staten Island facility on Dec. 23.
