Residents at an apartment complex for seniors in Alexandria, Virginia, received their second vaccine shots Saturday in an effort to create more accessibility for those vulnerable to COVID-19.
The clinic at Ladrey Senior Highrise Apartments, organized by the Alexandria Redevelopment and Housing Authority along with the city’s health department, administered 90 second doses of the vaccine.
Delores Tyler was excited to be a part of the group.
“I was nervous a little bit, but I said, ‘No, I’ll go ahead and take it.’ I feel good,” Tyler said.
