Alice Center residents to be vaccinated next week | News, Sports, Jobs

eizzo@adirondackdailyenterprise.com The first group of Alice Center nursing home residents who agree to be vaccinated are expected to receive vaccinations against COVID-19 as early as next week. The first group of residents will receive their shots on Dec. 21, Alice Hyde Medical Center spokesman Phillip Rau confirmed Monday. Alice Hyde, which is part of the University of Vermont health network, oversees the Alice Center. Because the new Pfizer coronavirus vaccine is delivered in two shots, it will take a few weeks before the vaccines are distributed to willing residents and staff. Vaccinations at the nursing home are expected to be complete around Feb. 1, 2021, according to Rau.
