OKLAHOMA CITY -
The Oklahoma State Department of Health said as of Monday, three-quarters of the state’s nursing and long-term care facilities have schedules to receive the first of two vaccination shots.
“I think there's light at the end of the tunnel,” said Katy Woodard, administrator of the Medical Park West Rehabilitation & Skilled Care.
CVS and Walgreens are in charge of offering shots to every resident and staff member of Oklahoma care facilities as part of the first phase of vaccine distribution. The companies plan on visiting each facility three times, 21 days apart to allow each person to get the initial and booster shots.
