Kendal is moving ahead with its Covid-19 vaccination program.
The professional staff from CVS, which administers the program has paid two day-long vaccination visits to Kendal so our residents would not have to travel elsewhere to receive the shots.
It should be mentioned that to receive the shots there is a great deal of paperwork that has to be filled out. “To keep the line moving” Ellen Ottstadt and her assistant Briana Giuliano filled out all the proper forms in advance by hand for everybody getting a shot. A truly massive undertaking.
The second session covered the vast majority of our staff and residents. We must all wait for a period of two weeks so the vaccination can do its job, and in two weeks residents will be able to dine with each other in apartments. A great step forward in socialization.
The February 11 report follows.
