In 17 years at Peconic Landing, president and CEO Robert Syron described Thursday as his “best day ever” on the job.
That’s because the retirement community partnered with Stony Brook Medicine to administer approximately 650 Pfizer COVID-19 vaccinations to both residents and members of the greater community.
In an interview Thursday, Mr. Syron said Peconic Landing has been advocating to be a mass vaccination “pod” due to the density of residents across the North Fork who are ages 65 and over.
“When [the state] was putting pod sites together, they didn’t take into consideration the demographics out here and also didn’t take into consideration how hard it is for an 80-year-old to get in a car and go an hour and 20 minutes,” he said.
