The vaccination of nursing home residents and staff as well as first responders in the battle against COVID-19 is underway.
Glendale Center and Beacon Brook Health Center, both in Naugatuck, have partnered with CVS to administer the approved Pfizer vaccines to their staff and residents. The nursing homes began to vaccinate their residents and staff in late December.
Glendale Center completed its first vaccination clinic on Dec. 27, according to Glendale Center Chief Medical Officer Dr. Richard Feifer.
