“There’s 475 people eligible for the vaccine, that’s staff and residents,” he said. Staff and residents will receive the first of two doses of the Pfizer vaccine at the 215-bed Riverside Rest Home, which has been dealing with a COVID outbreak, Bower said. Bower, who has been recovering from COVID himself after testing positive, said he will “absolutely be the first in line” on Monday when CVS personnel arrive to administer the injections. Strafford County’s Riverside Rest Home went 266 days without anyone testing positive for COVID, Bower said, “since then we’ve certainly had our share.” He’s encouraged that the home’s residents and staff will have access to the vaccine even before the end of the year.
